Follow Suzy Birstein to Greek Island Paradise “Mytho Muse” - Ceramics Workshop at The Skopelos Foundation for the Arts September 10th - 25th, 2010 The Skopelos Foundation for the Arts Suzy Birstein Program Director.

Envision your “Inner Muse” under the creative guidance of ceramist Suzy Birstein - famed artist for the 2008 Academy Awards Nominees - on the enchanting island of Skopelos, Greece.

Suzy is coming back to Skopelos for a second time after a transformational figurative sculpture program for nine incredible muses! In 2010, Suzy will continue to share her love of colour, form and Muse, specifically inspired by Greek mythology. Suzy will demonstrate her ceramic hand building techniques combining textures, slabs, coil and pinching to create imaginative and mythologically inspired sculptures, masks and wearable art. Students will have hands on experience creating and discovering their artistic process. After the work is fired, experiment with Suzy's unique multi-surface combinations of fired underglazes and glazes alongside painted and patina'd surfaces. 
Under the Skopelos sun, we will create time to discuss participants' initial concepts of MUSE and MYTH which will be enhanced by the evocative ambiance of Skopelos. We will experience local music, food, artists, museums, architecture as well as exploring gorgeous beaches and hikes into nature...

Our vision will grow as we make visible the synthesis of clay, color concept and culture. All skill levels are welcome!

Costs to include workshop, materials, firings, opening/closing dinner and breakfasts $1,800.
Early bird special until June 1st, $1,700!
Accommodations on Skopelos range from €15 - €30 per night for single or double occupancy.
