Session 1: We’ll begin with a visit to "Dale Chihuly: The Oklahoma Collection," focusing on the distinctive shapes and forms in his artwork. Back in the classroom, participants will create their own Chihuly-inspired clay bowls using slump and slab techniques. The session will wrap up with time to refine each piece by smoothing surfaces or adding details.
Session 2: Our second session begins with another look at "Dale Chihuly: The Oklahoma Collection," this time exploring his expressive use of color. In the studio, participants will refine their vessels by sanding and smoothing, then add lines, patterns, or other details before completing their bowls with vibrant glaze.
All finished pieces will remain on-site to be kiln-fired. Participants will receive an email when their artwork is ready for pickup.
This class is designed for adults ages 18+. All supplies will be provided.
