Joie De Vivre and Visions in Clay

Joie de Vivre: Artist Talk and Virtual Studio Visit
Sunday August 23, 3-4pm PT (6-7pm ET)
***

I was scheduled to teach a workshop in San Raphael, France in September but we all know what happened to the world. Being nostalgic, I want to share with you the experience I had during my first artist residency in Vallauris also in the south of France.
Imagine you are at the French Riviera in September. You start your day swimming in the waters of the clear Mediterranean sea, hiking in the surrounding hills or taking an excursion to the nearest medieval town. You enjoy French culture and fresh, delicious cuisine. Already seems like paradise, right? And for me it was all of that plus my favorite activity – sculpting with clay.
During the month of my artist residency there I produced 21 pieces! Want to hear about my amazing experience at Vallauris, an ancient town known as a center of French pottery and ceramic arts and a place where Picasso produced more than 3 thousand ceramic works? I’ll show you the images of his and other French artists’ works who inspired me there. Also, you will get the insights from such places like Antibes, Nice, Cannes, Grasse and Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
Join me Sunday, August 23, 3-4pm PT
