Unleash your creativity and immerse yourself in the world of candle crafting and design with our unique workshop, "Crafting Ceramic Candle Vessels: A Collaboration with Forth and Nomad." Join us for a hands-on experience that combines the art of vessel-making with the captivating ambiance of candlelight.

We've partnered with Forth and Nomad to bring you a one-of-a-kind crafting experience. In this workshop we will approach the handbuilt vessel form with candles in mind, but also with consideration to what life the pot may live after the wick burns out and the wax burns down. We will cover soft slab building techniques using templates with an option for a lidded vessel. We will also be combining light and dark clay bodies to create visual patterns in our slabs. These patterns will include marbling, striping, and abstract line + shape compositions.

In this hands-on workshop, students will learn to create colorful, complex surfaces using underglazes, underglaze transfers, and slip trailing, learn techniques such as sgraffito, incise design, sprigging, stamping, and inlay, and learn how to use quick stencils and resist techniques on greenware clay. Students will explore multi-layered surfaces that can embellish functional or sculptures. While the students will use greenware clay, there will be a discussion of how to finish artwork with glazes.
