Discover an engaging two-day intensive workshop with visiting artist Marret Metzger, designed for artists eager to elevate their approach to ceramic surfaces. Through in-depth demonstrations and guided studio exploration, Marret will share her studio process of sgraffito techniques, introduce a range of dynamic surface processes, and discuss how to construct forms that intentionally support surface development – along with discussion on how to glaze finish your pieces. Join us for an immersive workshop experience that will expand your technical skills and transform the way you think about the surface. This is a hands-on workshop where you are expected to make and are encouraged to bring your own leatherhard pieces to decorate.
Studio will provide forms for those who need a surface to work on. Please bring a packed lunch or order ahead from our restaurant, Thorn Alley Kitchen.
Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Turnaround time for ceramics can be a few weeks. Once the pieces are ready for pick up, you’ll receive an email from our Programs team letting you know.
