In this workshop, you will make a bas-relief “ecological map” of your favorite place in nature using air dry clay.
Mapping Nature with Clay Many cultures make three-dimensional maps to help navigate the world around them. In this workshop, you will make a bas-relief “ecological map” of your favorite place in nature using air dry clay. We will paint the maps with colored slip mixed with natural pigments made from local plants and soils, a technique used by indigenous artisans to decorate their pottery. No previous experience with ceramics is needed!
