Workshop | Intro to Clay

This workshop is suited for beginners to clay, or intermediate artists looking for a two-hour refresh. No experience necessary!

Please note, this workshop is a 2-Part workshop, where students will need to return on day 2 to glaze their piece. If the student cannot attend the day-2, the pieces will be glazed a solid white glaze.

Part 1 | April 6th, 2 – 4pm

Part 2 | April 13th, 2 – 4pm

Attendees will be guided through the varying ways to create with clay, including hand-building and throwing on the wheel. Kass will guide you through her techniques in order to create something unique as you “test the clay waters”. Students will select the glaze color from 3 options that will be used on the piece (glazed by the instructor), once fired. And will be told when to return for completed piece pick up.

Intro to Clay is best for students ages 16+

All materials will be provided. This workshop is limited to 6 students.

About the artist:

Kass O’Brien grew up in Pennsylvania, spending much of her childhood fishing and sailing on Lake Erie. Kass’s mother was a docent at a nearby art museum, which sparked her curiosity for art. She became active in the art community as a teenager, and later went on to receive a BFA at the Columbus College of Art and Design and an MFA at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her style focused on urban decay, inspired by steel mills along the Great Lakes.

When she moved to Florida, Kass became inspired by the local scenery and began considering different mediums, like ceramics, to express her love of nature. Whether it is seaweed that has washed ashore or a leaf that has fallen from a tree, she tries to transfer these moments into each piece that she creates.
