Cultural Exploration w/ Vanny [6 weeks]

Cultural Exploration is a unique 6-week class series (Level 2) that encompasses our mission to preserve and celebrate culture through clay. 

With the instructor's guidance and unique background students will learn new surface decoration techniques and incorporate them into one larger piece that explores a personal or cultural narrative.

January-February 2025 series will be taught by Vanndearlyn Vong, a Cambodian-Chinese artist whose practice is dedicated to revitalizing traditional Khmer ceramics. 

For Vanny, preserving Khmer ceramics is vital to the continuation of her culture and a form of resistance to the 1975 Cambodian genocide. Vanny studied under 1 of 2 Cambodian ceramic masters who survived the genocide, and now she will be sharing this practice with folks of all backgrounds to explore your own cultures. 

This is a level 2 series. For ages 16+. This series is for anyone with basic handbuilding experience, or who has at least taken Intro to Handbuilding with us.
