ADULT CERAMICS: WHAT WE MAKE OF IT
with Educator Julie Epp
Get inspired by the contemporary art on view at the Gallery at Evergreen Arts and explore the endless possibilities of clay with artist Julie Epp. Begin with a guided tour and in-depth exploration of the exhibition, where you’ll reflect on its themes, emotions, and artistic practices. Then, return to the studio to create your own expressive ceramic artwork using hand-building techniques.
Guided by Julie’s creative and reflective approach, participants will experiment with form, texture, and imagination while learning foundational clay techniques. Discover how clay can be both expressive and functional, shaped by your ideas and the stories you want to tell. Come ready to play, learn, and create something uniquely your own!

Participants will create a ceramic mug with decorative elements inspired by Karen Zalamea’s botanical cyanotype works currently on view in the gallery. This project will introduce surface design techniques, including sgraffito and stencilling, to explore pattern, line, and imagery.
Participants will design and build a functional hand‑built pottery piece inspired by Lure, a group exhibition exploring the cultural, social, and material connections between fishing and daily life across Canada. Drawing on forms, textures, and narratives linked to oceans, freshwater, and fishing traditions, from subsistence to ritual, participants will translate both the exhibition’s visual and conceptual elements into a usable ceramic object.
