The Ellen Noël Art Museum invites you register for their Olla Workshop taught by San Antonio Ceramicist Diana Kersey. The workshop is set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 11.
Participants will learn to make their own porous olla that can live buried in your garden as an ancient form of irrigation.

Kersey grew up in Lubbock. Her parents let her dig a mud pit in their backyard. Thirteen inches down, she hit clay, and she’s been working with it ever since. Her work ranges from small studio pieces to large architectural installations.
Her public works have been commissioned by the City of San Antonio, VIA Metropolitan Transit, The San Antonio River Authority, and the City of Harlingen. She is currently working on two of her largest private commissions to date (over 650 square feet) for a new office tower in San Antonio. Kersey earned an MFA in ceramics from Washington State University in 1997, and a BFA in drawing from Texas Tech University in 1994. She serves on the faculty at Northwest Vista College and owns and operates Kersey Ceramics LLC.
