In-Person Class: Fall Leaves Plate & Bowl Workshop

Georgia O’Keeffe carefully decorated her home and studio, blending art and design in a way that turned her space into an artist’s sanctuary.

Inspired by the thought of bringing special objects into our homes, enjoy a cozy morning creating fall-inspired ceramic bowls or plates. 

In this workshop, participants will learn about hand-building techniques, blending warm underglaze colors, and pressing real autumn leaves into clay to create their own leaf-shaped bowls or plates. By the end of this class, each participant will have created and decorated up to four autumn-inspired pieces, which will be ready to pick up in up to four weeks once they’ve been dried and fired by Amber.

NOTE: The work created in this class will need to dry and undergo firing by Amber after the workshop. They will be ready for pick-up at the Museum in up to four weeks. Shipping finished pieces is also an option for out-of-town participants.
