Your Story in Clay

Working with stoneware clay, participants will first experience Shary Boyle's "Outside the Palace of Me" exhibition and will have the opportunity to incorporate themes and inspiration from the exhibition in a 3-hour clay workshop.

No previous experience working with clay is necessary.
