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 class, participants will press leaves and fall plants into their plates and bowls, while applying handbuilding and slab techniques. Red-brown stoneware clay and fall color underglazes will also be used to enhance the pieces. 

(Limit one plate and one bowl, or two plates, or two bowls.) 

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 six weeks. Shipping finished pieces is also an option for out-of-town participants.
