Artist Workshop: Clay Bells & Buttons with Muriel Condon
Tuesday July 8, 6:30-9pm
Family & Community Space, Tinworks site
$20 registration fee, registration required. Tinworks is committed to removing barriers to participation. Scholarships available upon request.
REGISTRATION OPEN ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE EVENT.
ONE TICKET PER PERSON, REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
Workshop Overview
Connecting and sounding. Fastening and ringing. Come and make handheld ceramic objects that expand beyond the studio: reverberating into space by sound and assisting textiles bond to each other. This ceramic workshop explores various hand building techniques to make your own set of buttons and/or handheld bells. Bring any inspirations for historic form or surface decoration for the bells and buttons- as well as any textured items you want to impress into the clay. Any additional questions or concerns can be directed to the instructor.
About Our Instructor
Muriel Condon is an artist and educator based out of Helena, MT. Her work uses material transformation and craft practices to invite a moment of comfort and tactile reflection. Through playful forms, object vignettes, and soft surfaces her work earnestly offers levity, while reflecting on the fallibility of established social structures and collective memory. After being born in a trailer by midwife, she grew up around Bozeman, Montana. Condon holds an MFA from University of Tennessee- Knoxville (‘22) and a BFA from Montana State University (‘16.) Between degrees, she assisted at Frogman’s Print Workshops in Omaha, NE and was a postgraduate apprentice at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia. She has been awarded residencies with Print Arts Northwest (Portland, OR), Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, Poland, and the Morgan Paper Conservatory (Cleveland, OH) and is a co-organizer for a summer 2025 residency at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts (Newcastle, MN.) She has shown internationally and has participated in multiple print exchanges, including organizing a fabric quilt print exchange. After moving back to Montana, Condon has continued her investigation of interdisciplinary craft as an Education Fellow and Gallery Coordinator and the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramics Art. She is currently an adjunct instructor at Helena College and is in the process of setting up a home ceramics and papermaking studio.
