Handbuild a Secret Garden Mug with Krista Cortese, March 8th from 12pm - 3:30pm

In this workshop we will be making a Secret Garden Mug. Learn how to color clay with mason stains, work with soft slabs and templates, and incorporate your own unique touch to make your mug your own. Each student will be making one mug and the workshop will end with a demonstration on how Krista decorates her Secret Garden collection on bisqueware.

Each student will get to take home there own templates to incorporate into their practice.

This workshop is suitable for all skill levels, but recommended for students 18+.

This Workshop will be in-person hosted at Saltstone Ceramics in the Wallingford Neighborhood of Seattle. No prior clay experience needed as this workshop will cater to all skill levels. The materials will be provided on-site. All firing services are included in cost, and the studio will glaze your pieces in a clear for you.

Krista Cortese has a background in painting, printmaking and sculpture and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pacific Lutheran University in 2011 with a minor in Art History. In 2016 she immersed herself back into the ceramics community through the Continuing Education program at North Seattle College. A few years later in 2019, looking to grow as an artist and professional, she began an assistantship to Deborah Schwartzkopf at Rat City Studios in Seattle, Washington. Krista currently works full time as a ceramic artist and educator out of her home studio in North Seattle. She is now offering memberships and mentoring to students in addition to instructing lessons, workshops and teaching classes at Rain City Clay. She hopes to facilitate a creative environment that is therapeutic, fun and explorative for her students. Krista makes functional pottery that celebrates the rituals of everyday life with an emphasis on joyful, floral compositions with the charm of naivety.
