Join Sur-Collective ceramic artist Catherine Guevara on this two-day workshop exploring the tactile joys of clay.

In this immersive hands-on experience we’ll develop new skills in forming micro sculptures, beads, and tiny clay amulets to create body adornment and beautiful decoration.

During this workshop, we’ll get acquainted with the Corban Estate Kiln Room, focusing on small-scale details, before embarking on the process of under glazing.

Whether you are a beginner or experienced maker, we will explore clay recycling; clay wedging; working with clay stains; clay carving for the mini pieces and assembling possibilities to suit jewellery or amulet creations.

 

Allow 2-3 weeks for firing, before returning to collect your finished creation.

Your Teacher

Catherine Guevara is a Colombian visual artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. Her body of work comprises education, curation, research, writing and ceramics.

An accomplished visual artist in her country of origin, Guevara moved to Auckland to deepen her practice by further understanding the relationship between Latin American and Pacific cultures. 

Guevara is passionate about exploring with clay and creating with kids!Her art practice examines the process of ceramic-making, imbuing layers of clay with memory and history. Often collaborative and experimental, Guevara activates these vessels as meaning-making and storytelling tools. The results challenge our assumptions about the medium while enduring as deeply sensory objects.
