MOAD Makes Ceramics with Carolina Cueva

MOAD Makes Ceramics with Carolina Cueva

In this hand building clay workshop, participants will tap into various elements, symbols, and ancient wisdoms as they create vessel-like altars for their own ritual use. Workshop participants will explore design concepts, learn the basics of hand building, and paint their clay form. Participants are welcome to bring symbols and imagery that they want to inform or use in the creation of their altar.

Refreshments will be served.
