Join artist Janina Myronowa for a two-day hands-on workshop exploring storytelling through figurative ceramics.
During this Workshop, participants will focus on creating sculptural figures that communicate narrative, emotion, and personal meaning. Through demonstrations, students will learn fundamental handbuilding techniques - including slab building, coil building, pinching and decorating techniques: underglaze painting and decals.
This workshop combines lecture and demonstration. Janina will share insights into her creative process, including how she approaches storytelling, character development, and working across different scales. Participants will create smaller works while gaining an understanding of how to translate ideas into larger sculptural forms.
Workshop fees include clay, as well as bisque and glaze firings for up to 2 pieces per participant.
