Join us this December for our Decorative Painted Ceramics Workshop. This workshop will be held on Saturday, November 16th from 3:00 - 5:00 PM. his workshop will invite attendees to learn and practice Edgar Miller's stylized hand-painted decorative designs on usable ceramic pieces and plates. 

Led by contemporary Chicago artist-designer, Sharon Bladholm, these workshops will teach attendees to follow in the footsteps of Miller's conceptual process from inspiration to realization. Attendees will have the opportunity of decorating up to four plates provided by the workshop, or bringing their own oven-safe and ceramic piece to paint. Using templates, stencils, design patterns, techniques, and a variety of unique Miller-made images--particularly drawing inspiration from pieces on display from private collections at DePaul Art Museum's current exhibition Edgar Miller: Anti-Modern, 1917-1967--decorators will be able to colorfully use their imagination to create their own set of plates to take home. The session will include a brief exploration of the story behind some of Miller's artistic ceramic pieces that were popular party-favors and gifts he would make for friends over the decades starting in his teenage years.

Come and spend a fun evening of learning and hands-on creative work. Light snacks and drinks will be provided during the workshop. This leisure workshop is perfect for craftwork beginners of all ages!

This workshop will take place at Art on Sedgwick art center located at 1408 N Sedgwick St, Chicago, IL 60610.

Attendees under the age of 13 will be required to be accompanied by an adult.
