Sip & Make: Memory Vessels

Learn from local artist Elizabeth Wells to create your own Memory Vessel made from air-dried clay and nontraditional materials in this three-hour workshop. Memory Vessels, popularized among folk artists in America and Europe during the 18th & 19th centuries, have roots in the traditional burial practices of the Bakongo people in Central and West Africa. Each ticket includes a tour of Atticus Adams’ installation in the Frick’s greenhouse, dialogue with local Appalachian clay artist Liz Wells, all necessary art materials to leave the workshop with a completed vessel, and light bites and beverages.
