Thank you to everyone who attended this weekend's Make/See/Know/Believe ceramics workshop with with Mark Shapiro and Sam Taylor! Over the course of two days, Mark and Sam shared their years of experience in making and decorating ceramics through interactive discussions and demonstrations. Attendees had the opportunity to learn techniques and skills from the two artists in a hands-on session in The Umbrella Ceramic Studio facilities.

A huge thank you also to David Rosen, one of The Umbrella's amazing volunteer photographers, who was on hand to document the event.

Join us for a two-day workshop with Sam Taylor and Mark Shapiro. We are proud to host these two potters for a weekend of demonstrations, lectures, and making, exploring the intersections and diversions of their process in this collaborative event.
