If you could have dinner with any artist past or present, who would it be? In this exciting class, you will learn about master artists, choose one, and spend the session creating a place setting for yourself that evokes your personality and another place setting that evokes the artist you choose. You’ll respond with your own creative interpretations for making dinner plates, salad plates, cups, and flatware while mastering clay hand-building techniques. Pieces will be fired and glazed. Additional work will include acrylic painted place mats for your table setting. You’ll be inspired to think out of the box in terms of form and function, while learning in-depth about a particular artist and at the same time you'll learn about other artists through your peer’s work. Get into clay!
