Ceramic Bird House Workshop with Mark Lester

In this workshop, we’ll be making hand built ceramic bottles!

In this workshop, we’ll be using the slab building method to pattern sheets of clay, then fold those sheets into vessels that will take the shape of a traditional bird house. You will be able to choose the size of your birdhouse, as well as what color you want it to be from a selection provided by the instructor. Participants will be provided with cord to tie up their bird house if they choose to do so. Turn around time for completed pieces will be around 4 weeks.

Ticket Cost: $70 per person, supplies included

Instructor: Mark Lester

Instructor Bio:

Mark is a native of Northeast Florida, and graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the University of North Florida. Finding value in the quiet spaces within nature from an early age, he created art of various sorts with differing media before settling on ceramics as a base medium for making. Since then he has experimented with glass, metal, and wood, frequently incorporating these materials into the work to add visual breath and suggest an interplay between differing contexts. The work itself draws influence from the quiet spaces that are created when activity ceases, often inspired by abandoned architecture and the interstices of natural formations. Mark currently lives in Atlantic Beach, and works and teaches around Florida and the East Coast.
