  • Workshop from Home with Horacio Casillas
    Architecturally Inspired Surfaces with Horacio Casillas

    September 22, 2026 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM

    Join ceramic artist Horacio Casillas to explore his process for creating architecturally inspired surfaces through image transfer, carving, and underglaze inlay! Horacio will share the thought process behind his Cathedral-inspired pottery and the Gothic and Baroque elements that shape his designs. He'll demonstrate on thrown jars and mugs, but this decorating approach can be applied to any form, thrown or hand-built. Along the way, he'll cover how he transfers images onto leather-hard clay with tattoo paper, carves for depth and definition, and applies terra sigillata and underglaze to bring the designs to life.
