Teen Night #2 - Ceramics

Private Workshops | Available

Learn how to make a fun and functional heart shaped box with Instructor Amanda Warren. Students will be led step by step on how to handle, shape, and sculpt clay together to assemble a keepsake box of their own. Each box can be decorated with bright underglaze color, textures, carving, stamping, and/or attachments to customize the design for every student.

Finished boxes will be finished with a clear gloss glaze and ready to go back to students a few weeks later.

This program is free and made possible by a generous grant from the Fund for Women.

Amanda Teaches: Ceramics, Summer Camps, Outreach Programs

Amanda Warren is 171 Cedar Arts Center’s Ceramic Technician and Instructor. Amanda started teaching at 171 in 2013 and became the full-time Ceramic Technician in 2014. Amanda is a graduate of Alfred University where she received her BFA in Ceramics and Art Education. Amanda then earned her M.S. Ed. in Art Education from Syracuse University in 2012. Amanda has also been certified through NYS as a K-12 Visual Arts teacher.

While her main form of art making is based in ceramics, she has practiced in glass blowing, printmaking, and drawing. Originally from Schenectady New York, Amanda now lives in Hornell with her husband Matt, their little boy Desmond, and their precocious kitty Willow. Amanda is happiest when in the studio and classroom making art with her students and passing on her love for all things art. When she isn’t in the studio, you can find her at the movies, outside enjoying nature, or out and about on an adventure. Her favorite color is periwinkle.

When Amanda isn’t doing technician work she teaches Midday Clay, workshops, and summer camp classes. She has exhibited work in every Mosaic show at 171, the Arts Council of the Southern Finger Lakes, created work for the Rockwell Museum, and GlassFest.

Amanda is the 2022 recipient of 171’s Bob Kinner Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence.
