Picasso as the Muse Ceramic Workshop
This workshop is now sold out! Thanks for your support.
This workshop starts with a tour of Picasso’s Ceramic Studio, an exhibition that includes ceramic works from Remai Modern’s collection. Then, accomplished ceramicist Sandra Ledingham will lead the class through the process of hand building clay plates, using clay slips and additive clay to build up surfaces and narratives. The slab approach to building is suited to all levels of experience. Works will be transferred to kilns for firing and pick up. Use Picasso’s designs of birds, fish, figures, goats, bull fights, passageways, mythology as inspiration or conjure up your own ideas! Materials provided.
$30 for members; $40 for non-members. This workshop is 18+. Capacity is limited so get your tickets soon!
