Turn a flat slab of clay into a functional serving dish in this one day workshop. Lyndsay Dean will guide you through the use of free forming techniques or loose mold forms to design and create your one of a kind serving piece that can be painted and carved with colors and simple patterns of your choice. Pick your piece up 4-5 weeks after class
Your Artist Instructor:
Lyndsay Meiklem Dean has been creating functional pottery for nearly 3 decades. She opened Meiklem Kiln Works Clay Studio in 2002 where her passion for the medium was passed onto others through wheel thrown pottery and hand building clay classes. The community studio provided a venue for a variety of art classes and hosted many professional visiting artist instructors over the course of seventeen years. In 2018 Lyndsay pivoted her career to dedicate more time to her personal growth in clay and opened Glaze Handmade, which currently houses her studio and retail shop in Stonington, CT.
