Description

Envision your "Inner Muse" under the creative guidance of ceramist Suzy Birstein famed artist for the 2008 Academy Awards nominees - on the enchanting island of Skopelos, Greece where "Mamma Mia" was filmed!

Suzy is coming back to Skopelos for a second time after a transformational figurative sculpture program for nine incredible muses! In 2011, Suzy will continue to share her love of Colour, Form and Muse.

Suzy will demonstrate her ceramic hand building techniques combining textures, slabs, coils and pinching to create imaginative sculptures, masks and wearable art. Students will have hands on experience creating and discovering their artistic process. After the work is fired, experiment with Suzy's unique multi-surface combination of fired under glazes and glazes
alongside painted and patina'd surfaces.

Highlights

Under the Skopelos sun, we will create time to discuss participants' concepts of
MUSE and MYTH, enhanced by the evocative ambiance of Skopelos.

Our vision will grow as we make visible the synthesis of Clay, Color, Concept and Culture.
