My workshops aim to meet hands-on learning experiences with deep collective thinking. It makes a huge difference to learn through tactile exploration, to chat and play as we make, cross-pollinating our ideas.
These are the skills we build together, to fertilize new ways of thinking. To re-member ritual making practices, for communion with an always changing, growing, dying, living world.

Clay Seed Pod Workshop
May 19 11-1pm at Plant Material
In this one-day ceramics workshop we’ll observe a collection of locally foraged seed pods, learning from their more-than-human architectures. Exploring these tactile forms through clay, we’ll practice essential ceramic handbuilding techniques to create botanical sculptures: Clay Seed Pods.
What can be learned by looking closely at the very small, the unnoticed, the dispossessed and decomposing parts of our world?
These intricate anomalous structures have been teachers for me in my artistic practice.
Seed pods have much to say about holding carefully, about carrying precious and precarious futures. Seed pods contain the knowledge of letting go. Seed pods know how to make and unmake themselves These forms are a more-than-human language. It’s one you can only speak with your hands.
This class is open to students of all levels of clay experience, and aimed at adults and young people over the age of 11. There may be an upcoming class for smaller people soon!
