The Mastery of African Pottery

SAAM Docent and facilitator, Christina Davis will be leading participants through exercises in molding their clay and how to form it into a finished art piece.

Participants start the workshop with a short tour of our Terracotta Gallery, The Upbeat Village, that showcases a powerful range of 19th and 20th century earthenware works from Sub-Saharan Africa. Some of the countries included are Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and Rwanda. Following the tour participants will get to work with their own block of clay to form their own unique art piece inspired by the works within the Savannah African Art Museum's Terracotta Collection. 

Please keep in mind that seats are limited so you must RSVP for this event. Should you RSVP and are unable to attend, please reach out to us so that we can assure that your seat is filled!

This workshop will be hosted outside in our courtyard/garden area weather pending.
