Making Mingei Workshop: May 30, 3PM-5PM

Mingei - A Japanese philosophy used to honor the value in the everyday objects we use and the people who craft them.

Join Marcello Andres Ceramics for a workshop that is equal parts social, spirited, and technical. The workshop will start with a light introduction to Marcello Andres Ceramics. Mayuka will lead a sake tasting while discussing sake / Japanese culture, the concept of respect, and details regarding the sake. Then we'll dive into a convivial discussion about the connection we have with our favorite objects and the dual purpose they serve as functional art. Following the discussion, guests are invited to craft pinch pots with guidance from Marcello Andres staff, inspired by the philosophy of Mingei.

After the workshop, guests will be invited back to the studio to pick up their glazed and fired creations. Attendees will be notified via email once their pieces are available for pick-up (delivery can be arranged as well).

This workshop will be hosted at Marcello's studio in the Cedars Neighborhood at 1501 Gano St., Dallas, TX 75215. Learn something new, have a beverage, and get creative.

Tickets are $150 each and include the workshop, all art-making supplies, complimentary drinks, and your finished pieces. In-person and open to the public. Advance registration is required. Space is limited.
