Age: 18+ Date: Saturdays, April 26 + May 3, 2025 Time: 1 -4 PM Cost: M $140 and NM $160 (includes material and firing fee) Instructor: Jonah Strub Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Hmmm, I love my face, but I really wish the rest of me was a cat”? If this sounds like you, today is your lucky day! Ceramic sculptor Jonah Strub is teaching a two-part workshop in which students will learn proper handbuilding techniques for self portraiture, and surface decoration with underglazes to create creatures that are part you, and part animal. Animals can be real, mythological, or hybrids of many kinds of critters - creativity and silliness are strongly encouraged!  This workshop is suitable for all levels but some experience with clay handbuilding will be beneficial. To get the most out of the workshop and to aide the instructor, students are encouraged to arrive with an idea for their animal self portrait, along with basic sketches and/or reference images.  Jonah Strub is a Toronto-based ceramic sculptor. Jonah’s artwork is a visual love letter to the aesthetics of camp, kitsch, musical theatre, Yiddish humour, and drag. Jonah strives to project joy and playfulness through his work. By using humour, bright colours, animal prints, and bushels of body hair, Jonah highlights the joys of Matzo ball-flavoured femininity, effervescent queerness, the beauty of bric-a-brac, and the opulence of outrageous up-dos.
