Join MOAD for a hands-on artmaking workshop led by ceramic artist Polo Ramírez. Trained by his parents and grandparents in traditional pottery of the Vicús and the Tallán, Ramírez’s approach emphasizes the human touch. He abstains from using pottery wheels and other machinery. This workshop will engage visitors in handbuilding techniques to create bird whistles inspired by the Chilalo, a bird from northern Perú that is legendary for teaching pottery-making to the regions people.

MOAD is teaming up with the Ceramic League of Miami (CLM) to bring this art experience to the South Florida community. With a special focus in ceramic arts, CLM prioritizes access and inclusion, creating environments that are tailored to various experience levels. This month, MOAD Makes will pay tribute to the ancient teachings of the Chilalo, a tradition that Ramírez has championed into present day art spaces.
This program is inspired by Miami Dade College’s Kislak Collection.

Free parking available onsite on a first come, first serve basis.
