Ancient Activities: Clay Carving & Wine Enjoyment with All Together Now
Tuesday, March 3 from 6:00-9:00pm
Present Company
2135 W Chicago Ave
A lot's changed in the past few millennia, but humans have been drinking wine and making things from clay through it all. The past melds with the present during this clay carving (plus sprinkle of wine) workshop with Danielle Chutinthranond of Monsoon Pottery. Danielle will teach the basics of the inlay techniques used to create Monsoon's signature blue and white wares, and participants will create their own original porcelain plate. Danielle will also discuss the history of inlay and the power of the traditional Asian symbols and motifs she references in her own work, encouraging you to craft your own. Participants are encouraged to bring ideas and line drawings to reference.
And that other older-than-time activity, wine? The All Together Now team has a tasting in store for you featuring a moderate historical angle and maximum deliciousness. We'll also provide a picnic-style dinner to fuel your clay carving work.
This workshop includes:
- A three hour session with hands-on instruction of the inlay technique
- One small porcelain plate for each participant to decorate (additional plates available for $40 each)
- A history lesson on inlay and blue & white wares
- Wine tasting and light picnic-style dinner
Plates usually take 3-4 weeks to fire and finish after the workshop and will be available for pickup at All Together Now when ready.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD AT PRESENT COMPANY, ALL TOGETHER NOW'S PRIVATE EVENT SPACE A FEW DOORS DOWN FROM THE MAIN LOCATION. THE ADDRESS IS 2135 W CHICAGO AVE.
