Join us for a beginner Ceramic Wine Tumbler workshop at Next Door! You will learn the basics of working with clay, sculpting, and texturing clay. Adriana Lemus and Chad Franco from Night Owl Pottery will guide you through this 2-hour intro to clay workshop.
The $65 fee includes white stoneware clay, all materials to use during the workshop, instruction by experienced ceramic artists, and a glass of wine (for 21+)! Once your wine tumbler is created, you will leave it with the instructors where they will take it back to their studio in San Luis Obispo to be fired, glazed (painted), and fired a second time. This process takes about 4-5 weeks. When complete, the tumblers will be brought back to Next Door to be picked up!
Night Owl Pottery is a combination and collaboration of ceramic work by artist Adriana Lemus and natural builder Chad Franco. They create almost all of their pottery at night—thus, Night Owl Pottery. Both artists are from the Central Coast and come from artist families. Adriana Lemus studied art at UC Berkeley and has been showing her work on the Central Coast and in the Bay area for the past five years. Chad Franco studied natural building and permaculture design in Santa Cruz, Texas, and Portugal, this led to organizing his own workshops and commission work within the community. Both artists sell their work at local Makers Markets, online, and are currently working on commission work for restaurants, hotels, spas, and homes.
