About the workshop:

Come make a tumbler or mug that represents you! Students will use a pattern to create a slab-built cup from start to finish. Stamps and other decorative elements will be provided to customize the outside surface of the cup. If students desire, they may leave their finished cup to be bisque-fired and come back on their own time to glaze their cup. After the glaze firing students can come pick up their finished and totally functional cup!

About the instructor:

Anna Wallace

Is a current resident and native of Durham, North Carolina. She holds a BFA in Ceramics from the Cleveland Institute of Art, and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Teaching
has become an integral part of Anna’s artistic practice. She teaches at UNCG, High Point University, and is the Lead Visual Arts Instructor at the North Carolina Governor’s School West.

Much of Anna's work infiltrates, as if the rugs, chairs, and vessels sprouted legs and marched out of the home and into the white box of the gallery. The colors, pattern density, and visual stimulation demand we pay attention.
Her practice spans sculpture, installation, and performance. The way Anna handles each process is not dissimilar to the management of a home, bouncing from one thing to the next. Her work demonstrates an infatuation with female labor and the practices of women’s
work.

In addition to Anna’s studio art practice, she designs and creates several collections of sustainably produced products. The pottery collection is made to seamlessly integrate into any existing kitchen, yet has a unique whimsical
quality. The garment collection embraces slow fashion. Each item is sewn entirely from locally sourced vintage and remnant textiles - down to the thread.
