Monoprinted Holiday Tumblers with Maria Ashkin, 12/02/23

Hosted December 2nd, 12-4pm

Want to make some colorful handmade gifts for the holidays? We return with a second round of our Monoprinting workshop, making colorful and detailed work on the surfaces of clay.

Local artist Maria Ashkin harnesses the power of underglaze to create vibrant, detailed designs on clay. Join this workshop to learn the steps of constructing a slab-built tumbler and creating a monoprint, a type of printmaking that yields one-of-a-kind results. This printmaking technique is particularly useful for ceramicists that are interested in the layering of surface design on ceramics.

Workshop will be in-person hosted at Saltstone Ceramics in the Wallingford Neighborhood of Seattle. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of experience with clay and is open to students 15 and older. The materials will be provided on-site. All firing services are included in the cost, and instructor will glaze your pieces in a clear for you.

Maria is a sculptor, printmaker, photographer, and ceramic artist hailing from the clay-caked deserts of New Mexico. She is a certificated public school art teacher, long-time experiential educator, and critical scholar with a masters in social justice education. In each class she teaches, she brings undeniable spunk and a dedication to listening to and welcoming her students. In her own clay practice, she draws inspiration from printmaking techniques, Raku, and the inimitable colors and forms of the land that raised her. She also loves 90s R&B, snorkeling, foraging for fungi and orchids, eating bagels, speaking Spanish, and doubling over with laughter.
