Jun 1 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
(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/

Acupuncture can treat anything from depression, anxiety, any kind of pain, digestion, sleep issues, and chronic conditions to also providing overall support for general well being. People can expect to rest anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on what your body needs and what you are comfortable with.

Please bring a whatever you need to relax (blanket, mat, cushions). Please dress in comfortable layers and be prepared to roll up pants up to knees and long sleeves that roll up to the elbow and to remove socks and shoes for treatment.

  • How does this work? Sign up for a time slot. Tickets will be available in 15 minute slots. You’ll sign up for some short paper work, then find a spot, roll up sleeves and pant legs if that is comfortable for you and lara will start treatment.
  • How long do I stay? Depends. At least 30 minutes is recommended but listening to your body’s needs is most important. Sometimes people fall asleep and sometimes they don’t, but what is most important is that they relax.
