Clay Workshop with Karen Jaimes

Join artist Karen Jaimes, featured in Clay Conversations: Ceramics from the Gilded to the Digital Age, for a hands-on ceramics workshop. Learn to create a reproduction of an ancient spout vessel using clay, tools, and your hands. Wear an old shirt or apron—it might get a little messy! All materials provided. Your piece will be glazed, fired, and ready for pickup in two weeks. Recommended for ages 10+.
