POTTERY WORKSHOP: Tell Your Own Texture Story (Every Texture Tells a Story, Don’t It)
October 26 @ 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Join ceramic artist Cheryl Brown of Cielo Clayworks for a hands-on pottery experience telling your own unique texture story through clay.
Here’s what you’ll do:
🖌️ Grab three of your favorite found objects to create your own story by pressing a design into clay slabs to form a functional tumbler!
Examples could be:
🖌️ A locket or piece of jewelry that means a lot to you
🖌️ Flowers
🖌️ Other sentimental small items
🖌️ The Museum will also have items available for you to use to make an impression
Participants will learn foundational pottery skills while creating a personal texture story. Your completed tumbler will be bisque fired and glazed with a studio glaze of your choice. Ceramic artist Cheryl Brown began exploring clay over forty years ago. Receiving her M.F.A. from Amsterdam’s Gerrit Reitveld Academie, her handbuilt earthenware structures and vessels have been featured in South Florida, her native Midwest, and in galleries and art collections throughout Europe. Driven by the clay’s characteristic qualities, Cheryl employs a controlled, yet random, manipulation of the clay in various states of plasticity that defines the form and reveals its innate tactile traits. Whether creating a vessel or working abstractly, her common denominator is marked by that which mankind has in common.
