Ceramic Oktoberfest Steins Workshop with Mark Lester

In this workshop, we’ll be making hand built Oktoberfest steins!

In this workshop, we will be using the slab method to make patterns on clay, after which we’ll fold the clay into cylinders and add handles to form traditional pub-style tankards. You’ll get to choose from a selection of glazes for your cup, which will be applied to your piece for firing. Pieces will be ready for pick-up within one month of the workshop.

Ticket Cost: $60 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.
