In-Person Class: Coffee or Tea? Hand-built Ceramic Mug Workshop

Start your morning by learning how to create ceramic mugs inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s New Mexico landscapes. Coffee and tea will be provided to get the creative juices flowing.

In this 3-hour class, teaching artist Amber Paz-Csibi will demonstrate how to use the slab technique to build functional mugs and how to decorate surfaces using layers of underglaze. By the end of class, participants will have created at least one decorated mug, but could finish as many as four.

NOTE: The mugs created in this class will need to dry and undergo two firings by Amber after the workshop. They will be ready for pick-up at the Museum after two weeks.
