Botanical Trinket Dish Workshop
July 25 @ 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
$80
Join Emily at Calgo Gardens to create your own Botanical Trinket Dish. We will be using slabs of clay to make a leaf trinket dish with YOUR OWN personal touch!
Emily will be your guide through the three hour step by step hand-building workshop. Learn basic ceramic terms and techniques as you experience the wonder of making something beautiful for your plant paradise. Pieces will be completed to the greenware stage (not fired) by the end of the workshop. You will have the chance to hand paint your dish with special glazes before the end of the workshop. Emily will then take them back to her studio and complete the firing process over 3 weeks. Finished pieces will be returned to the greenhouse where they can be picked up.
About Emily:
Originally from New Jersey, I studied at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA and graduated in 2009 with a BS in Studio Arts with a concentration in Ceramics. Following school I made pottery out my a small home studio in Jersey City, NJ before relocating to Walnut Creek, CA, for a California adventure. After almost three years in California, this Jersey girl was missing the salt air. My family made the journey back to our hometown in Point Pleasant, NJ. I live here with my husband, Matt, our daughter, and son.
After graduating from CCC, I struggled to find my path, and took five years to develop my skills professionally. During this time, I’ve continued to work on my craft, and hone my skills on the wheel in my spare time. Our move to California was the best thing I did for my art. I found my artistic voice and a great community of ceramic artists in my community studio in Berkeley, CA. During summer of 2015, I decided to jump back into making with two feet. Now that we’re settled in New Jersey, I’m ecstatic to be making pottery out of my home studio full time.
