Building Space & Intention: A Clay Handbuilding Workshop
Experience a hands-on clay workshop exploring architecture, intention, and the built environment through sculptural form

About the event
How do we build spaces that reflect who we are—and who we want to become?
Join ceramic artist Angelique Scott for a hands-on clay workshop exploring architecture, intention, and the built environment through sculptural form. Using beginner-friendly handbuilding techniques, participants will design and create a small architectural structure inspired by community needs, spatial storytelling, and Afrofuturistic imagination.
Through guided prompts, we’ll consider what our spaces hold, who they serve, and how design can shape belonging and possibility.
Blending foundational design principles such as form, balance, proportion, and texture with conversation and making, this workshop invites you to engage clay as a tool for reflection and creative expression.
Designed for creatives, architects, students, and anyone curious about craft and the built environment, this workshop is welcoming, thoughtful, and hands-on. No prior experience required.
Participants will:
- Learn foundational clay handbuilding techniques including pinch, coil, and slab
- Explore architecture through form, texture, and sculptural storytelling
- Engage with Afrofuturistic design perspectives and Black spatial imagination
- Create a small architectural sculpture to take home
