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, spend a relaxing Saturday morning making your own ceramic candle lantern. In this workshop, participants will learn various techniques, including hand-building and piercing processes. The natural clay color (ivory white) will be our inspiration to reflect O’Keeffe’s designs and color palette in her home and studio.

By the end of the workshop, each participant will have created and decorated their own candle lantern, 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.
