In-Person Class: Ceramic Plates & Trays 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, take some time creating your own ceramic tableware! In this class, learn how to create plates and/or small appetizer trays by applying the slab technique, adding textures, and layering colorful underglazes. During the workshop, participants can expect to make up to 4 small pieces which will be created from food-safe clay/underglaze.

NOTE: The pieces 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 after 2-3 weeks. Shipping finished pieces is also an option for out-of-town participants.
