Art Enables Saturday Workshop
Air Dry Clay Vessels
May 18 | 11 am - 3pm
Join Art Enables for our next Saturday Workshop on May 18, from 11 AM to 3 PM. Take hold of your artistic vision as you create Air Dry Clay Vessels alongside the artists of Art Enables. Inspired by our newest exhibition, “PRIMO,” this workshop invites you to express yourself by creating a unique piece of air dry clay art that can serve as a functional vessel for plants, pencils, and trinkets, or as a purely ornamental piece of décor.
During this drop-in workshop, you'll have the chance to work with air dry clay, cord, ribbon, or wire, along with an array of artistic tools including markers, watercolor, colored pencils, and Micron pens. Let the vibrant energy of the “PRIMO” exhibition guide your hands as you bring your vision to life.
Art Enables Saturday Workshops are free, family-friendly, and welcome all art-making abilities. Registration is recommended to secure your spot. We may close registration if we reach capacity.
Art Enables is committed to providing access to everyone. If you require accommodation during your visit, please make a note in the RSVP or email us at info@art-enables.org.
About “PRIMO”
Art Enables, Make Studio (Baltimore, MD), and Riera Studio (Havana, Cuba) are proud to present “PRIMO,” a two-site exhibition that brings together work by artists from all three progressive art studios. On view at both Art Enables and Make Studio, this exhibition marks the Riera Studio artists’ U.S. debut. We invoke the word “primo” as both English slang for “excellent” and the Spanish word for “cousin.” The works on view display a wide range of artistic visions, while stylistic and thematic similarities reveal a meaningful kinship. Groupings of works sharing recognizable threads are gathered together in a conversation that spans borders. The works in this show speak to each other and are also part of a larger discourse: the rich history of self-taught and outsider artists. While the definition of “outsider art” has evolved over time, the heart of what defines it persists: self-taught artists who express themselves on the margin of the established cultural mainstream. All three participating studios celebrate these unique perspectives, their crucial place in the larger arts landscape, and the sense of connection amplified when we’re together.
