(ceramic) Butter Dishes Workshop @ Ilwaco Artworks

Handbuilding Butter Dishes w/Taylor Stefanski. 6/1. 2-6p. $72.

In this one day workshop students will create and take home their very own butter dish! We will cover how to roll out and prep slabs, how to use a template and add adornments at the end. All levels welcome, ages 16 and up. 

Bio: Her work is deeply inspired by the sea. Explores ideas of imperfection and honors the nature of the tides through meditative repetition. Expressed in the chosen hand building process – each of their pieces are created primarily using a coil building technique. Where she rolls each coil by hand to create unique, one of a kind forms.

Graduated from Cornish College of the Arts with a focus on printmaking and sculpture. Their ceramic work is carried in a variety of stores in Seattle, Portland and LA. She currently works and teaches in her studio in Capitol Hill. https://www.tstefanski.com/
