Roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty in this ceramic workshop with local artist Ellie Becker. Guided by her expert instruction, you’ll shape and sculpt your own expressive clay figure, bringing personal narratives and artistic visions to life. Your sculpture will be dried, glazed, and fired by Ellie herself at St. Pete Ceramics.  Whether you’re a seasoned maker or a curious beginner, this workshop offers a welcoming space to connect, create, and engage with contemporary art in a meaningful way.

Ticket includes admission to the museum during Art After Dark, introduction and instruction from ceramist Ellie Becker, ceramic supplies from St. Pete Ceramics, and a gallery talk. Wine and small bites will be available for purchase from Café Clementine during their L’Apero hours.

Finished sculptures will be available for pick up at Art After Dark on July 9.
