Ceramics Workshop: Summer Fun and Focus!

Ceramics Workshop: Summer Fun and Focus!

Presented by The Umbrella Arts Center at The Umbrella Arts Center

These two classes will offer participants a chance for discussion, suggestion, and critique on their work throughout the Summer. Intended for those working independently or those who want a little extra support, we look forward to engaging group feedback and encouragement to empower your projects & plans. Low key, with a focus on fun and inspiration! This is a perfect way to stay motivated with suggestions on the many possibilities that your work can take. Bring work in progress, inspirational examples, and a list of summer clay goals. This workshop is primarily intended for addressing hand-built work, but pottery is also welcome for aesthetic, decorative, and functional questions.
