AWA+D strives to provide diverse programming to our members. We have many educational events that are great for professional growth but we also realize that having fun is important. One of our recent fun events was handbuilding ceramics over Zoom.
We partnered with Cobalt & Clay, a woman owned small business based in Frogtown. Nicole, who is the owner, was wonderful at helping us organize our event and Hannah Sy taught the one-hour class.
We started with a ball of clay and first created a bowl shape by pinching and then added height to the vessel by coiling technique.
At this point we each shaped our vessels to our liking and designs and it was fun to see the variety of different shapes that the participants produced.
The whole process was really creative, relaxing and a little messy but having a drink and good company helped.
