Experience the Pot Palace from The Incorrect Museum: Vignettes from the di Rosa Collection through the eyes of ceramicist and Sonoma Community Center Director of Ceramics & Arts Kala Stein! Kala will walk you through the pieces in the Pot Palace vignette to better understand their context in the world of ceramics, explain how they were made and then invite you to join her for an intimate lunchtime demonstration followed by a hands-on studio session. Slab and coil techniques will be presented to encourage an effective, expressionistic approach to building with clay. Each participant can create their own unique art piece inspired by the pieces in Pot Palace or embark on a free-form exploration to see what is possible with clay.
All materials and firing will be provided by collaborative partner Sonoma Community Center (SCC). Completed vessels will be taken to SCC to be fired, and will be available for pick-up at a later date. No experience is necessary.
