Picasso Workshop - 2 Part Series
All Levels: Picasso-Inspired Faces: Two-Part Handbuilding Workshop Instructor: Izzy
Course Description
Shape a face. Break the rules. Make it uniquely yours. Get playful with shape, color, and expression in this two-part handbuilding workshop inspired by the bold, abstract faces of Picasso and Cubist art. Part 1: Build Friday September 25th 4pm - 6pm Using slab-building and handbuilding techniques, you’ll create your own ceramic face from clay. Play with exaggerated features, unexpected proportions, layered shapes, and asymmetry to create a completely one-of-a-kind piece. No need to make things perfectly symmetrical—in this workshop, a crooked nose or mismatched eyes are part of the fun! Part 2: Glaze Sunday September 27th 4pm - 6pm Once your piece has been dried, you’ll return to bring your face to life with underglaze. Experiment with bold colors, contrasting sections, patterns, and graphic details before we fire your finished piece. No pottery experience necessary—just bring your creativity and a willingness to break a few artistic rules! Ages 11+: Participants ages 11–15 must be accompanied by a participating, registered adult. Ages 16+ may attend independently. Includes: * Two instructor-led sessions * Clay and materials * Use of studio tools * Glazing and firing * One finished ceramic art piece to take home
