Ceramic Tools (provided but remain with the studio)
Ceramic Planter Concepts in a Sketchbook
What to expect
Spend some creative time in the studio creating a ceramic planter with artist Mariah Ordoñez. In the first session, students will learn how to design and hand build a ceramic planter. This must be done carefully using certain methods to prevent air bubbles which can cause damage in the firing. Between the two sessions, planters will be dried out and bisque fired. In the second session (two weeks later) students will return to Black Barn to create the finished glazes. Planters will be fired after this session and a time will be arranged to return to Black Barn for picking up the finished planters.
Mariah Ordoñez is an artist and art educator located in Kingston, WA. She is a painter, sculptor, and creative facilitator. Her work is currently on view at Mary Hill Museum and has recently been available at the Schack Art Center. Mariah holds a Masters of Teaching in Arts Education from Willamette University and has been teaching art for over 14 years in public schools and private art studios throughout the PNW.
