Juliann Roush Workshops - June 2024

Juliann Roush is a self proclaimed maximalist. Most of her work is hand built with slabs and has a very distinct style using lots of texture and bright colors. Juliann finds inspiration from circuses, side-shows, fairs, elaborately decorated, hand-carved and ornately painted wagons/caravans, and old ornate Baroque theaters. Often her work has a positive encouraging message, giving a little insight into her cheerful personality and joy of making and sharing her methods. Juliann teaches at workshops around the country and has been a featured presenter at Clay Con West and The Ceramic School. 

​

I am excited to host two workshop opportunities with Juliann in June 2024. Both workshops will be held in-person in Tallahassee, FL at the LeMoyne Arts ceramic studio. In addition to our time in the studio, we will have an artist meet and greet on June 3, 2024 from 5:30-7:30pm which will be open to the community.
