Teen Clay Workshop with Karen Jaimes

Join artist Karen Jaimes, featured in Clay Conversations: Ceramics from the Gilded to the Digital Age, for a free drop-in ceramics workshop just for teens! Learn to create a reproduction of an ancient spout vessel using clay, your hands, and tools. Wear an old shirt or apron—it might get a little messy! All materials provided. Your piece will be glazed, fired, and ready for pickup at the Museum in two weeks.
