Two-Part Ceramic Painting Workshop

Wednesdays, Oct. 26 & Nov. 2, 2022 (10:30am-1:30pm)

Ceramic painting is a fun and relaxing hobby! For this two-part workshop instructed by Mari Hurley, no experience is needed to bring color to life and create a beautiful olive-themed set (cheese platter and two appetizer plates).

Each plate has a pre-drawn design by the teacher, and students will be guided through the painting process, learning techniques for coloring and shading the design.

At the end of the classes, participants will leave their plates for the teacher to fire in a kiln and can pick their plates up a week later. Along with enjoying the experience and learning painting techniques, participants receive a food safe set that makes a heartfelt gift or useful keepsake.

Open to participants 16 and older. All supplies are included in the registration fee.

COST: $150 Museum Members / $167 Future Members

About the Instructor

"Ceramics came into my life through a friend in 2004. I took classes for a few years and studied Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Moroccan styles, among others. A few years later, during the pandemic, I realized that I truly missed the comfort and peace that ceramics brought into my life, so I decided to order a few pieces and jump back in. Some of my friends started asking me to teach them after seeing some of my pieces so I decided to give it a try. We had a wonderful time socializing while working on a project of their choice. I was having a hard time finding a place to fire the pieces and because of that I bought a kiln. That’s when I dediced to make it official and share my passion with my friends and their friends. It has been wonderful to see them paint beautiful ceramics." — Mari Hurley
