About Evelyn Hernandez

Evelyn Hernandez (@evelyn.dez) is a Mexican- American ceramic sculptor and instructor from Los Angeles who primarily uses recycled and locally foraged clays.

Objective

Join Evelyn Hernandez for a ceramics workshop and make your own clay pieces in nature using local clays.

This immersive experience offers each participant a unique opportunity to jump into the world of pottery, and connect with local and natural materials. Equipped with all the necessary tools, you'll get to mold and shape your very own clay sculptures in nature using local clays that have been gathered and processed by the artist. This hands-on workshop is perfect for both beginners and seasoned artists alike.

Your artistic creations will be carefully collected and fired, transforming them into lasting pieces of art. These one-of-a-kind sculptures will be available for you to claim as your own, ready for pick up at the Usal Outdoor Recreation Center (ORC) a few weeks following the workshop.

  • Sun protection: sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, etc.
