*SPECIAL WORKSHOP* Slab Build Wall Hanging w/ Kathy from Studio Eighteen

Workshop Duration: This is a one-day workshop (2.5 hours in length)

Dates/Times:

Wednesday, April 8th from 5:30 - 8:00pm

Workshop Description:

Join Kathy to create a one-of-a-kind ceramic wall hanger in this hands-on, creative workshop.

Working with clay slabs, students will design and build a multi-piece wall hanging, with plenty of opportunities to personalize each piece using a variety of textures and colours. You’ll be encouraged to create something meaningful and unique that reflects your own style and can be proudly displayed in your home.

After the workshop, your pieces will be carefully dried and fired, and Kathy will glaze them in your chosen colour. Once firing is complete, which will take around 3 weeks, you’ll receive cord to string your finished pieces together, bringing your custom wall hanger to life!

About the Instructor: 

Kathy Szuba is the designer and maker behind ceramics brand STUDIO EIGHTEEN.

With a background in interior design and architecture, Kathy's work is deeply inspired by the built environment around us. Light, shadow, texture, shape, and colour are key features that inform her designs. Her collection includes ceramic jewellery and homewares including wall art.

Kathy specializes in slab-built and hand-built ceramic techniques using underglaze to create colourful, bold designs and patterns.  When she's not working in her home studio, you can find her selling STUDIO EIGHTEEN ceramics at Vancouver markets including Circle Craft, Got Craft and Khatsahlano street festival.

Dates/Times:

Wednesday, April 8th from 5:30 - 8:00pm

Materials: All necessary materials are provided, including clay, tools, and firing services, studio glazes, and cord to finish your wall hanging piece.

Post Workshop: Once your piece is finished, we will fire it in our kiln twice. You will get to choose your choice of glaze, or to leave your vessel unglazed. This process could take up to three weeks to complete. When your vessel is finished, we will email you pick up times. Cord will be provided at the end of the workshop so students can string their wall hanging piece together.

Limited Slots Available: To ensure Kathy can give everyone plenty of hands-on guidance, we’ve kept this class to a maximum of 8 attendees per workshop.

No Clay Experience Required:

This class is ideal for those new to clay, seeking a different method than the potter's wheel, or looking to refresh old skills.
