Kids Art Class: The Magic of Clay (Ages 6–8)

There are endless possibilities when working with clay! Start with a simple shape and then add other elements. A rim along the bottom? Handles? Decorations? Like the artists on view in Conversing in Clay: Ceramics from the LACMA Collection, exercise your creativity to transform a humble pinch-pot into a personalized bowl. Taught by ceramicist Beatriz Jaramillo.

5 Sundays: February 12, 19, 26, March 5, 12
Indoors at the Boone Bungalow

About the Instructor

Beatriz Jaramillo’s work addresses the landscape as metaphor and modality, highlighting the tensions produced by the artificial separation between nature and culture, and, in the process, inviting the viewer to rethink their fractured relationship with nature. Beatriz studied Fine Arts in her native Colombia, and, in Los Angeles, she received an MA in Art Education and an MFA in Studio Art with emphasis in Sculpture/Ceramics. With her work, the artist integrates art, science, and technology with community participation, in order to inspire meaningful dialogues about environmental issues. Her artwork has been exhibited in several galleries and museums in the U.S. and Colombia. She also has served as a teaching artist at LACMA and the Norton Simon Museum, as well as a faculty member at Cal State University, as a Ceramic Instructor.
