TERRA FORM
A Clay Workshop with Adam Stacey
October 3rd & 4th
10 AM-2 PM at The Capri
Join Ballroom Marfa for TERRA FORM, a hands-on clay workshop led by artist and educator Adam Stacey. Participants will explore foundational ceramic techniques including slab construction, underglazing, firing, and finishing processes while considering clay as both a material and a connection to place.
Each participant will create a hand-built ceramic planter while exploring the relationship between clay, place, and contemporary craft practices. Finished with underglaze and fired, each piece will become a functional sculptural object to take home.
We will also be providing free morning coffee from Mutual Friends for all participants!
Each workshop session is limited to 12 participants. To reserve a spot, please email info@ballroommarfa.org.
