Artist Giselle Massey shares the process to make her intricate ceramics
—Morro Bay Art Association is proud to present a demonstration in ceramics, titled, “Finding Inspiration in Whatever You Love” by Giselle Massey. May 14, from 3-5 p.m. at the Art Center Morro Bay, 835 Main Street.
MasseyGiselle grew up in Los Osos, where the Central Coast became a constant source of inspiration for her work. Her love of creativity and self-expression blossomed into an art-filled passion. Childhood summers spent outdoors in barefoot freedom have forever bonded her to the surrounding ecosystem. Perhaps it’s no surprise that the same plants and flowers she enjoyed during her childhood, are a recurring theme in her work. “One of my passions is to bring art into everyday moments of life with functional ceramics like mugs, planters, and bowls. I carve and texture nearly every piece I make, often leaving portions of clay bare as a part of the design to be enjoyed by hands as well as eyes.”
During this demonstration, Massey will engage participants in a lively discussion about ways to find inspiration in our environment, and share the process of her intricately carved designs and inlaid glazes.If you’ve wondered how to create functional ceramics that are beautiful too, don’t miss this opportunity to see how it’s done.
