We are so thrilled to host Melissa Weiss in May for this very special Cup Making Workshop.
Saturday Saturday May 22, 2027 from 10am-4pm @Columbia Clay
First Half: This two-part class will explore a variety of cup forms, including mugs, tea bowls, and goblets, with special attention to creating beautiful feet and handles.
Second Half: We will focus on surface decoration, experimenting with underglazes, slips, wax resist, carving, and water etching to bring our cups to life.
Melissa Weiss is a full time artist working primarily in clay. She lives and works in Asheville, NC. She is originally from NYC. She graduated from SVA with a BFA in photography in 2000. Melissa took a clay class for the first time in 2004. She set up a studio shortly after that and continues experimenting and exploring this inexhaustible material. She has taught and exhibited ceramics across the United States. Melissa makes illustrative, functional ceramics using wild clays and commercial clays fired in gas fueled, electric and soda kilns. She is the author of Handbuilt, A Potter’s Guide. Her work strives to illuminate the sweetness and fortitude of humanity. She is inspired by all people fighting for liberation and a just world.
