In this technique-based workshop, we will be making ceramic harvest baskets! These beautiful, open forms perfect for displaying fruits, bread, or autumnal decorations. Inspired by traditional gathering baskets, stained glass windows and forged iron, these sculptural yet functional pieces highlight negative space and ornamental structure, blending rustic charm with contemporary design.

Space is limited to 5 participants.
