From a basic cube and cylinder to a freeform sculptural piece, participants will learn the basic techniques to accomplish a diverse assortment of pieces in this one-day workshop with local artist Puchi Noriega. The workshop will begin with a demonstration and then students will choose their project according to their skill level. All levels welcome. 

Students are welcome to explore for project inspiration ahead of time or decide on an idea for their project at the workshop.

Price includes clay and bisque firing of pieces. Students are welcome to use our studio tools or bring their own if they prefer. Pieces will be hollowed out and left for drying and bisque firing at Gumbo Limbo Pottery.

Participants can pick up their bisque-fired pieces approximately 3 weeks after the workshop. Students who wish to glaze their sculptures can come in October 1st from 10am to 3pm for an additional fee of $20 which covers the cost of glaze and the second firing. Students enrolled in the Sept/Oct 6-week session of classes at Gumbo Limbo Pottery can glaze their sculptures during glaze week of their regular class session at no additional charge.
