The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts will host three Love to Learn classes in the first quarter of 2024. Each class will feature a special, hands-on, skill taught by prominent instructors. The Love to Learn classes are part of the museum’s Grand Re-Opening celebration.
Love to Learn: The Art of Ceramic Vases with Michelle Cuevas will be a two-part class and takes place on Saturday, March 16, 2024 from 9 – 11:30 a.m. and Saturday, March 23 from 9 – 11:30 a.m. in the Concho Clay Studio located in the breezeway at 1 Love Street. Refreshments will be provided.
The first session will consist of building a vase from a slab of clay, not with a pottery wheel. The slab-building technique involves rolling out clay to an even thickness, then cutting shapes, folding, bending, manipulating, and joining together to form a finished object. The second session will consist of using different glazes to “paint” the vase. After glazing, the vase will be fired and ready to be picked up in a week.
Michelle Cuevas was born in New Mexico but has lived in Texas almost 50 years. She learned her craft, in part, from local ceramic artist icons Roger Allen and Millicent and Jeremy Bundick. She has been “playing in the mud” for more than 25 years.
