Tree of Life

Tree of Life Workshop with Isabela Muñoz
Create your own Árbol de la Vida sculpture in this hands-on workshop celebrating storytelling and tradition. Students will learn how to handbuild the structure and symbolic elements of a Tree of Life using slab, pinch, and coil techniques. We’ll sculpt flowers, leaves, birds, and other meaningful motifs, and assemble them into a balanced, expressive form.
Please note: This class focuses on building only. Underglazing and glazing are not included in this session. We will discuss finishing options, and students can return at a later date to glaze their fired piece.
All materials provided. No experience needed.
Your piece will be fired after class and ready for glazing during a future session.
Teaware
2 day workshop
With Jotham Hung
Sat & Sun, Nov 22nd & 23rd |
Join artist Jotham Hung for a hands-on throwing workshop exploring the art of tea-ware. Learn how to create teapots, chawan, and yunomi using the traditional “off-the-hump” technique, practiced for centuries across Asia. Jotham will guide students through forming and assembling teapots, refining drinking vessels, and experimenting with surface decoration like faceting, carving, and slip work. Open to intermediate students comfortable centering 2–3 lbs of clay.
Underglaze Painting Coasters
With Sal Trevino
Coming in November
Join us for a special workshop with visiting artist Sal Treviño, who will be sharing his unique approach to underglazing. In this hands-on class, students will create their own set of coasters, either four or two, depending on the complexity of their design. You’re welcome to bring your own ideas, or choose from Sal’s “flash book” of imagery, which includes Kewpies, American traditional, Japanese traditional tattoo-inspired motifs, and even some ABQ-themed designs to celebrate our city’s culture. Along the way, Sal will guide you through tips and tricks for crisp linework, vibrant underglaze work, layering techniques, and the use of stencils to make detailed designs approachable even for beginners.
