Summer Workshop with Fabiana Chagas

Course Fees
$165 + taxes. Materials included.
Instructor
Fabiana Chagas
Bio – Having worked as a lawyer for 17 years, Fabiana felt as if something was missing in her life.
Early in 2015, she began taking ceramics classes and began her shift toward becoming a potter. Just one year later she moved to Canada and enrolled in a two-year ceramic studio program at Kootenay School of Arts in Nelson, BC.
Her body of work reflects a line of functional artwork that are intended for daily use in the kitchen and home. This functional line is primarily wheel thrown with stoneware clay and glazed with rich vibrant colors. Her work also includes slip casting pottery, a process in which she makes plaster molds and applies liquid porcelain to obtain a thin-walled, translucent piece.
Date and Time
First 2 Sessions 3 hours long
Second 2 Sessions 1 hour long
Dates TBA
