Drawing inspiration from Ebru, the ancient art of marbling, this class will guide you in transforming raw clay into functional art with a focus on unique surface design. Just like Ebru, where no two patterns are the same, you’ll explore techniques that celebrate individuality and one-of-a-kind results. Perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike, this class will have you embracing the art of unpredictability while exploring the essentials of hand-building.
In this 3-hour class, you'll design and craft your very own x2 vessels, selecting from OXUM NYC shapes, perfect for daily use and safe for both the dishwasher and microwave.
Using our in-house slab technique, you'll learn the fundamentals of hand-building functional tableware. Express your unique style by applying colored porcelain slip to your creation, with a variety of colors to choose from. By the end of the workshop, you'll have created your own functional pieces of art.
It will take about 2-4 weeks for our team to glaze and fire it. We’ll notify you by email or phone when it’s ready for pickup, so you can enjoy one-of-a-kind masterpiece that's as practical as it is beautiful. Join us for a fun, hands-on experience and take home a piece of art that you can use every day!
This class is taught by Niovi Forbes, founder of OXUM NYC. She will share lessons from 26 years of design experience and guide you so you can tap into your creativity. This highly experiential workshop has a holistic learning, making, and transforming approach.
