SUMMARY:Connect with Clay!  Monthly Artist-led Air-Dry Clay Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Connect with Clay! Monthly Artist-led Air-Dry Clay Workshops at the Palo Alto Art Center\nFREE\n\n\nConnect with Clay! \nMonthly Artist-led Air-Dry Clay Workshops at the Palo Alto Art Center\nFREE – Made Possible by Palo Alto Art Center Foundation\nEvery second Friday of the month (November 14\, December 12\, January 9\, February 13\, March 13\, April 10\, May 8\, June 12\, July 17*)\n6- 8 p.m. \nAll materials provided\nAll ages; children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult\nSpace is limited\, advance registration required for each individual session\n\nCome together around clay in community at a series of creative workshops led by Centering exhibiting artists Timna Naim and Larisa Usich. Each workshop will feature different projects inspired by themes in the current exhibitions at the Art Center. Visit the exhibition after hours with an exclusive tour by the teaching artists\, sketch out your ideas\, and then make your own creation in clay that you can take home\, and contribute to a collective artwork creation for the Center. \n  \nThroughout the series\, Timna and Larisa will explore how small-scale decorations can hold powerful meaning\, exploring the history of trinkets\, miniatures and other forms of adornment as important tools of self-expression. \n  \nBring your friends\, and come ready to learn\, explore\, and create! \nTimna Naim\, a San Jose-based artist\, explores identity\, play\, and community through interdisciplinary work integrating ceramic sculpture\, installation\, and performance that centers on tactility\, storytelling\, and participation\, using vibrant colors\, abstract forms\, and interactive elements to spark the imagination. Timna Naim holds an MFA in Spatial Art and an MA in Teaching from SJSU. \nLarisa Usich is a sculptor and social practice artist working in a range of media from clay\, metal and textiles to found objects and natural matter.  Her work emerges from the intersection of the personal and political and is influenced by immersion in the natural world. Usich earned an MFA from San José State University\, a BA from Brown University\, and has taught art to all ages and levels \n  \n*Note updated session date \n  \nAir-dry clay generously donated by Laguna Clay Company. \n
