10/19. Raku Class & Fire at Ilwaco Artworks. 10am-1pm. $40-$60/person

Then, join us for the raku fire, Oct 19th, 10a-1p where we will glaze and fire your pieces and they will be ready to take home that day. Basic tools kits are also for sale in the studio.

Option two $60: Join us on Oct 19th, 10a-1p and choose from pre-made, bisqued pieces to be glazed and fired and taken home that day!

Handbuilt Ceramic Shelves/Altars Workshop w/visiting artist, Celina Roseman Stilphen at Ilwaco Artworks Community Clay Studio, 2-6p. $75/person.

REGISTER

Learn how to handbuild a ceramic shelf or altar to hold your beloved trinkets and treasures. This class is beginner friendly and will teach you the basics of using slab building techniques. All tools, clay, glaze and firings will be provided.

Celina Roseman is a ceramic artist and teacher living in Portland, OR, on traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River. Drawing upon her love of the natural world, textures, shapes, she creates one-of-a-kind handbuilt ceramics. Each piece is created with slow and thoughtful intention rather than produced quickly like a machine. Similar to nature, her style is imperfect, raw, abstract, and unpredictable. She hopes her art provides you with feelings of connection to Mother Earth and inspires you to take care of this planet and its people.
