Ceramic Mugs Workshop with Mark Lester *SOLD OUT*
July 28, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$60Join Mark Lester at Atlantic Beach Arts Market to create your own ceramic mugs!
In this workshop, participants will make their own ceramic mugs, which will be suitable for daily use, as well as dishwasher and microwave safe.
Using this method, we’ll pattern sheets of clay with textures and images, then fold them into cylinders to form them into usable vessels.
The end result will be your own handmade cup for you to take home and keep!
This is a one-day pottery course, in which students will underglaze their mugs during the class. The instructor will then clear glaze the pieces before firing them at a later date.
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.
