Join us at Scandinavia House for a beginner-friendly adult art workshop. Inspired by the work of Scandinavian artists like Eva Hild and late ceramicist Ragnar Kjartansson, participants will create an abstract clay sculpture imbued with natural and organic forms. Guided by teaching artist Korka, participants will create art in a relaxed atmosphere. Participants who have respiratory issues are encouraged to wear masks. All materials are provided. The limit of participants is 12 people. ABOUT MELKORKA HELGADOTTIR Melkorka Helgadottir, A.K.A. Korka, is an Icelandic visual artist and teaching artist living in Brooklyn, NY.
