Tile Carving by Hand: Craft Your Own Pottery Tile with Christine Schwandt
Saturday August 9, 11am-2pm
All materials included
No experience necessary
Join ceramic artist Christine Schwandt for a hands-on workshop where you will create a one-of-a-kind 5x5 inch tile from pottery clay. Whether you are brand new to clay or have some experience, this welcoming session offers a rewarding introduction to hand-building techniques.
Christine will demonstrate slab construction, texture application, and other essential skills to help you craft a sturdy, expressive tile. You will be encouraged to design your tile with personal flair, incorporating patterns, symbols, or meaningful designs.
Once your piece is shaped and carved, Christine will handle the professional firing and glazing process. Finished tiles will be returned to the Sam Maloof Foundation for pick-up, fully glazed and ready to display.
All materials including clay and tools are provided. Just bring your creativity and a willingness to explore. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from a master ceramicist and create a meaningful piece of art with your own hands.
