Everyday Stories in Clay – Inspired by Beyond the Frame
Inspired by the work of Seward Johnson and the stories found in everyday life, create a ceramic mug that reflects a meaningful memory, place, or moment. Using hand-building techniques, you’ll shape and decorate a functional mug while exploring how ordinary experiences can become extraordinary through art. No experience is necessary, and all materials are included. Finished mugs will be kiln-fired and available for pickup at a later date.
