Thursday, September 17, from 6–7pm, via Zoom (link will be emailed prior to the event)
Texture, Terra Sigilatta & Trees: Creating My Ceramic Smoke-Fired Seedpods
How and why does an artist change course? Paula Shalan will share her story that lead from vessel-making to creating sculptural SeedPods. See her works in progress and view short demonstrations of her process: including coil, pinch, and soft slab construction, unique surface texture, and the magic of terra sigillata.
Paula is an IS183 Faculty Artist, and a participant in the Berkshire Pottery Tour. The 7th Annual Berkshire Pottery Tour will be an online event this year — September 26 & 27, 2020. Visit the Tour’s site for more information.

Online Classes at IS183
Though IS183 Art School has temporarily closed its doors due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, we are committed to our mission to provide hands-on art-making opportunities, keeping creativity alive during this challenging time. Our new Online Art series offers digital opportunities to work with talented IS183 Faculty Artists, bringing the studio experience to you!
How It Works
Register for a class (or series) on our website, and we will email you a Zoom meeting link along with instructions. Simply use the link to join the online class at the designated time! Download the Zoom app on your smartphone or tablet, or use your laptop/desktop web browser. The web browser client will download automatically when you join your first Zoom meeting. (Have a look at this Zoom overview.)
You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
Thank you for continuing to make art and support IS183 Art School! We look forward to seeing you in the (virtual) studios!
