Known as "The Glaze of a Thousand Faces," Shino is a unique type of glaze that is loved and used in ceramics studios around the world. In this one-day-only workshop, students will learn about the CAG studio's own Gold Shino and the many different ways that it can be used to decorate a ceramic surface.

One hand-thrown bisqued vase is included in this workshop, but students are welcome to bring a piece of their own cone 10 bisque ware to glaze. 

No clay experience? No Problem! This is a great workshop for beginners as well as experienced ceramic artists who are looking to expand their glazing knowledge.

You are invited to beautiful Pomona, CA to visit my studio and sip hot apple cider while you peruse my collection of seconds, one-offs, and old-stock ceramic work.

I’m going to be pulling my wheel out for some throwing demos under the trees, so you get to see a bit of how the sausage is made over here. There will be lots of free agave and spider baby pups (plants not dogs) and free handmade ceramic beads looking for a good forever home too. There may even be some free lemons off of the tree if Momma Nature wills it so.

What is a second? A second is a piece of pottery that has a minor defect that doesn’t affect its functionality or overall appearance. Most of my seconds have tiny s-cracks on the bottom, a little warping, or some sort of a small glaze inconsistency that just doesn’t jive well with my usual work. I am a perfectionist (to a fault I will admit,) and need to make room for new work.

When you visit, be sure to set some time aside to stroll about my incredibly pedestrian-friendly historic neighborhood in search of one of our resident peacocks or enjoy a picnic under the trees in our nearby park!

For the studio address, send me a message through my contact page or Instagram.

Join me in beautiful Sierra Madre, CA in the outdoor studio at the Creative Arts Group for this 3-hour workshop.

Students will create their own decals by bringing in black + white pictures, drawing, and/or selecting from a collection of fun vintage designs. These decals will then be used to customize a handmade stoneware mug made for the students by myself. After the workshop, the mugs will be fired, turning the decals into permanent sepia tone imagery. Participants will be able to pick up their personalized mugs the following week.

No pottery skills? No problem; the handmade mugs are included!
