Cultural Exploration [6 weeks]
A unique 6-week series that encompasses POT’s mission to preserve & celebrate culture with clay.
Preserving Khmer ceramics is vital to the continuation of my culture & form of resistance to the 1975 Cambodian genocide. I studied under 1 of 3 Cambodian ceramic masters who survived the genocide. Now, I’m excited to share my practice with folks of ALL backgrounds!
You’ll learn surface decoration techniques to make one large piece, or multiple small pieces that explore a personal or cultural narrative.
