Coil Pot Workshop at TAM, The Current

Calling all pottery lovers and those interested in the craft! Join The Current for an exciting, hands on two session clay workshop lead by artist and potter Kristina Batiste, juniper clay , July 13th and July 27th!

 Kristina will lead participants in creating a collective coil pot, teaching each individual how to create clay coils for the pot. Participants will create their own small clay work while waiting to add to this collaborative work. This will provide participants with an opportunity to try and experiment with making different shapes and structures. 

This clay workshop series aligns with the themes of The Current, illustrating the importance of intentionality and patience in creating!
