Slab Lantern Weekend Workshop

$175.00

Friday, Dec 6th (5:30pm-8pm), and Saturday, Dec 7th from Noon - 6pm

Looking to learn a new skill? Want something more intimately paced? Hand-building techniques are a great, meditative way to keep one’s hands busy while peacefully crafting. It is an entirely different approach to ceramics than throwing. Yet, it can be a new creative facet to couple with thrown skills as well. Piercing and slab skills can inform one’s thrown work with intention and depth.

This class is designed for folks of varying skill sets. Never touched clay in your life? You’re more than welcome in this class. Been practicing for a while and looking for something new in the ceramic world? Don’t worry, you’ll be far from bored here.

Recommended for individuals of any skillset, ranging from never touched clay before, to intermediate ability. This class is recommended for ages 18+. Ages 12-17 will be considered on a case by case basis. Please e-mail arttaysia.llc@gmail.com with any questions.
