Floral Impressions: Wildflower Ceramic Tile Workshop

Immerse yourself in the world of ceramics and native flowers in this unique pottery workshop. Join us for a creative and engaging three week ceramic tile workshop where you will craft a set of three hanging tiles, each tile with their unique surface and relief decoration using locally sourced flowers, plants, and other natural materials. Workshop participants will learn slab building techniques, explore texture, learn sculpting and carving techniques, and experiment with surface decoration using natural materials to create floral and natural designs on clay. Participants will have the option of framing their tiles with custom laser engraved titles from the Nest's Glowforge Laser Engraver.
