Art & Dining Experience
Part 1: Take part in a hands-on ceramics workshop where MaryMar Keenan will guide you in crafting your own ceramic “canvas” which you’ll use in the following workshop to paint on with guidance from Felicia Forte (If you're unable to attend Part 2, we will make your ceramic canvas for you).
Part 2: Once your ceramic piece is fired and ready, return for a painting workshop with Felicia Forte. Explore color, design, levels of abstraction, and techniques for breaking down realism into its essential elements. Use templates based on Felicia’s work or bring your own image as inspiration. You'll be painting onto your ceramic "canvas" to create a piece of art.
Close out the event with an exclusive food and colorful plating demonstration on MMclay wares by Chef Gavin Schmidt of the James Beard Nominated The Morris. Enjoy 4 seasonal dishes and wine pairings, inspired by the colorful ceramic glazes.
The next workshop dates will be announced soon! Fill out the form below and sign up for my mailing list to be alerted.
Location: MMclay Showroom + Studio @ 69 Gough Street
Painting with Felicia Forte
To uncover our voices we must create an environment of curiosity. Self awareness coupled with practical experimentation empowers our creative practices.
In my workshops I will offer a scene to work from as our subject. A live model, objects, theme, atmosphere. Each artist will be invited to find what interests them in this scene.
I welcome artists of all levels of experience to join this workshop. I have a supply list if you need guidance, but you may bring what you usually paint with instead.
There are no workshops scheduled at the moment

“Your voice is found in both the small actions in paint: technique, marks, and problem solving in paint, as well as in the subject matter and overarching themes you choose. You uncover these essential characteristics in your work by strengthening intuition, calming the nervous system and allowing curiosity to inspire the structure of your practice.”-Felicia.
