In-Person Class: Ceramic Pedestal Fruit Bowl Workshop

Georgia O’Keeffe carefully decorated her home and studio, blending art and design to turn her space into an artist’s sanctuary. Inspired by the thought of bringing special objects into our homes, enjoy creating functional fruit bowls by hand.

In this class, participants will learn how to create a pedestal fruit bowl by applying the slab technique with white stoneware clay. The bowl’s surface will then be decorated with textures and designs inspired by ceramics from O’Keeffe’s home.

The pieces created in this class will need to dry and undergo firing by the instructor, Amber, after the workshop. They will be ready for pick-up at the Museum after up to 6 weeks. Shipping finished pieces is also an option for out-of-town participants.
