Art Discovery Day – Ceramics – Sunday January 29th – 11am-4pm

Who Is This Course For:

• Anyone who wants the opportunity to be creative in a welcoming and friendly environment.
• Anyone who may feel creatively blocked, but would like to try (or return to) clay.
• Anyone who would like guidance in creating their own hand-built ceramic vessel in one day (will get fired in a kiln after class).

Let’s Make Art Together:

• Come hand-build a ceramic vessel in my studio, located at Artspace in downtown Raleigh, NC
• Create with stoneware or porcelain, paint with underglazes
• Small groups of 2 to 4 adults
• Art materials and light refreshments provided

During the workshop we will work together to create a ceramic vessel – it can be a planter or a decorative vessel. I will guide you step by step so that you can created a finished piece of ceramic art that you will be proud to display in your home. You will be able to paint with underglazes and after your vessel is dry, I will apply clear glaze fire twice in a kiln. You will be notified when the pieces are ready, usually 1-2 weeks after your session. For folks traveling from out of town, your piece(s) will be shipped after they’re fired in the kiln.
