Paint a Ceramic Fortune Cookie with Artist Christopher He

Celebrate Asian Heritage Month with artist Christopher He in this playful, hands-on ceramic workshop at the Art Gallery of Mississauga! Participants will paint their own bisque-fired ceramic fortune cookie using a vibrant selection of underglazes, perfect for adding a personal message, symbol, or design.

Each registration includes one ceramic fortune cookie, with the option to create an additional piece for $15. After the workshop, all works will be glazed and kiln-fired offsite, then returned to the gallery for pickup at a later date.
