About this Event
IN THIS CLASS YOU WILL EXPLORE THE ART OF HANDBUILDING-- THE SLOW AND MEDITATIVE PROCESS OF MANIPULATING CLAY USING JUST YOUR HANDS, A FEW TOOLS, AND YOUR IMAGINATION.
MEXICAN CERAMIC ARTIST, MIA ANGEL OF ENCÁNTARO CERÁMICA GUIDES YOU THROUGH THE FUNDAMENTALS OF COIL, PINCH, AND SLAB-BUILDING, AND THEN HELPS YOU ON THE JOURNEY OF DESIGNING AND CREATING YOUR PERSONAL PROJECT.

About the Instructor:
ENCANTARO is a love letter to the ceramic objects from my childhood. These contemporary reimaginings are made with the intention of being simple, imperfect, and timeless, like the Mexican cantaro--the ubiquitous water vessel treasured through generations.
