Using inherited and found fabrics, including lace, embroidery, doilies, and patterned cloth, participants will create textured designs on a functional ceramic plate. We will be using glazes and underglazes. Through clay we’ll reinterpret the stories, patterns, and traditions embedded in everyday textiles to create unique, food-safe plates. Workshop Goals • Expand participants’ understanding of craft through ceramics and textiles. • Encourage creative expression through personal and found textile patterns. • Develop a unique surface design for a functional plate intended for everyday use. • Foster community through shared making.
