This four-week workshop immerses students in the bold forms and graphic surfaces that define Jun Kaneko’s iconic ceramic practice, with participants creating sculptural pieces no larger than eight inches cubed.
Over the first three weeks at the Tampa Museum of Art, students will construct smaller-scale works and apply raku-specific glazes with an emphasis on mark-making, pattern, and architectural presence. The workshop culminates in an exhilarating fourth week at the City of Tampa Golding Art Studio, where participants will fire their pieces in the raku tradition, pulling glowing ceramics from the kiln and witnessing the dramatic transformations of post-fire reduction.
Drawing inspiration from Kaneko’s monumental approach while working at an accessible scale, this course invites both beginners and experienced ceramicists to explore the dynamic relationship between form, surface, and fire.

June 3, 10 and 17 take place at Tampa Museum of Art Vinik Family Education Center

Ready to fall under the spell of collage? Join me for an eight-week course, where we’ll explore the wonderfully scrappy, layered, story-filled world of collage art.
Each week, we’ll dive into hands-on exercises that build your skills. Think composition and color… but taught the fun way. Think layering and mixed media… but with zero pressure and lots of “let’s just see what happens.” You’ll work with a mix of found materials, handmade papers, ephemera, textures, paints, and anything else you feel like cutting up.
