Coffee and Clay – Ceramic Cup Workshop with Mark Lester
August 16, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
$50Join Mark Lester at Atlantic Beach Arts Market to make your own coffee cups on Wednesday, 8/16!
In this morning class, you’ll be able to enjoy fresh coffee and pastries while designing your own coffee mug! This class is relatively freeform and creativity is encouraged, though the instructor will provide hands-on assistance as needed. When class is finished, you’ll select a glaze for your cup, which the instructor will apply prior to firing the piece. Work will be ready for pick-up within four weeks after the class.
This is one-day workshop.

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.
