This 90-minute live streaming demonstration workshop and question and answer session with Mark Shapiro is offered in partnership with Project Art and is offered in conjunction with our exhibition PLAYING WITH FIRE: Altered Atmospheres which was curated by Mark Shapiro.

About the workshop:

The cup is perhaps the most basic vessel. Our bodies demand hydration even more than nutrition. This essential deliverer of liquid offers practically infinite ceramic variation and magnificent opportunities for individual expression. Not surprisingly, it’s usually the first pot that potters learn to make and the first pot that attracts a customer.

In this jam-packed livestream demonstration, Mark Shapiro will show a series of approaches to this essential form, including faceted porcelain and rope-inlayed teacups, footed chalices, and water “glasses,” including his signature surface treatments. 

 The demonstration will take place on Saturday March 13, 12PM - 2:00PM . EST (New York).   To find the corresponding time in your city, please check this world clock website.

We will be using the Zoom platform. Participation will be limited to 50 attendees.  A link will be sent out to participants after they have registered and purchased a ticket.
