Shifting Ground: A celebration of immigrant stories told with clay
Coming next Fall
A two-weekend workshop in storytelling and ceramics for Hispanic and Muslim immigrants
Work with visiting Portuguese artists Antonio and Paula Pinto.

Use creative processes as a vehicle for finding a sense of place in new culture, while retaining pride in your own heritage.
