ALTAR PARTY
Build a little shrine to all the things you believe in.
Join us in turning your creative obsessions, personal symbols, and favorite little things into a one of a kind ceramic altar. Altar Party will be held on Friday October 30 from 6-10pm, open to participants 21+ up and is BYOB!
At the Altar Party, you’ll design and build your own sculptural shrine out of clay using various surface design and textural tools, exploring the visual language of altars, devotional objects, reliquaries, and personal talismans.
This class is open to all skill levels! There are a few different approaches to making these altars that we will collectively explore, and ultimately your creative intuition will be the guiding force during this workshop. By connecting to your inner truth, you’ll be able to see more clearly what you need from your altar, and what your altar needs from you.
You’ll learn handbuilding and surface design techniques while thinking about what we choose to honor, celebrate, protect, or dote on. Maybe that’s your ancestors or your pets or your plants or beyonce, or simply your own damn self!
Come make something worth putting on a pedestal!
Our workshop will be held at Big Sky Studio in Humboldt Park, the entrance is thru the alley. The space is accessible via a small concrete ramp leading to a 3” door sill, with two 1” dips getting from the foyer to the space. This workshop is open to 12 participants.
All materials and firing included. Previous clay experience always helps but is not at all required.
