CONNIE NORMAN WORKSHOP

Hands-On Workshop August 2 & 3 2025

Connie Norman 2025

This Connie Norman workshop is a wonderful opportunity for creativity and artistic expression! Hand-building forms can be such a personal way to connect with the materials, and adding color, texture, and text allows for individual stories and styles to emerge. Connie's experience and vision will undoubtedly inspire participants to explore their creativity in new and exciting ways. It would be great to hear more about the specific techniques or themes she plans to cover in the workshop and how participants can showcase their unique creations at the end.

We kick off our exciting class with Mrs. Norman on Saturday, August 2, at 10 AM! Join us for an inspiring discussion about her artistic journey and unique style. After that, participants will dive into hands-on creativity, crafting a variety of pieces using hand-building techniques. Once your forms are shaped, you’ll have the opportunity to decorate them with vibrant colors, intriguing textures, and meaningful text, bringing your vision to life. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner, this workshop promises to be an enriching experience that celebrates individuality and creativity. Don’t miss out on the chance to learn from a talented artist and express yourself through clay

Connie utilizes an array of stencils, office supplies, and texture tools to create rhythm and depth in her work, transforming simple materials into intricate designs. This unique approach not only enhances the visual appeal of her pieces but also serves as a springboard for meaningful text. The interplay of texture and wording invites viewers to engage with the art on a deeper level, evoking emotions and sparking conversations. Participants in the workshop will have the opportunity to explore these techniques, discovering how to incorporate rhythm and texture into their own creations while crafting poignant messages that resonate with their personal stories. This fusion of artistic expression and thoughtful text will make for a truly enriching and memorable experience!
