The workshop begins with an exploration of textiles on display in the galleries and textile samples you can see up close. Then ceramics artist-in-residence Denise Jeffrey will demonstrate and lead a session of incising and inlaying your textile-inspired motif on your chosen ceramic cup, bowl or plate. Enjoy an informal chat with Denise as you create your own unique work of art.

Tip: Bring your own “stamping” objects such as stamp tools, cookie cutters, or even bottle tops to personalize your ceramic work. All other materials will be provided.

Tip: We invite you to explore the selection of textiles in the Multiversity Galleries prior to the workshop. After you’ve registered, please contact programs@moa.ubc.ca to receive the list of objects in advance of the workshop.

For more information, please contact Nadin Hassan, Public Programs Assistant: programs@moa.ubc.ca
