We are so excited to announce our next Instagram Live workshop with Levi Yastrow (@take_it_or_levi ) on Thursday, July 23rd! We missed our June workshop while accepting workshop proposals, so we are featuring two workshops for July!
Levi Yastrow is a Chicago based artist and educator who earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2012. He primarily focuses on making soda and wood fired utilitarian ceramics. He is currently a Teaching Artist at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago and the Ceramics Lab technician at the College of DuPage.

During his work shop Levi will demonstrate 2 decoration techniques that he uses for his soda fired works. He will show how he layers flashing slip and underglaze to develop different surfaces and wax resist to help to create and define those layers. Levi will also show how he uses both home-made and purchased underglaze transfers to create depth, color and pattern on the surfaces of his work.

We can’t wait for Levi to share his work! (at KC Clay Guild)

Alrighty, it’s tea time! This sweet little soda fired tea set from @take_it_or_levi is up for auction today. A few years ago, I was given a gift certificate to take a class @lillstreet in the ceramics department. I started digging around the internet and researching teachers in order to find the right class. I remember seeing Levi’s pieces and the wonderful atmospheric surfaces they had. Although I didn’t know what it was then, I was very drawn toward his style. I feel that it’s very represented here in these pieces. The teapot itself is about 2.5” tall and the accompanying cups are about 2” tall.
REMINDER:
There will not be an auction tomorrow in observance of Juneteenth.
UPDATES:
We have TWO more auctions! One on Saturday the 20th and one on Sunday the 21st. I will draw the winner of the dead cowboy flask on Monday the 22nd after the last auction ends.
RULES:
1. Bidding starts at $20 to cover shipping (US ONLY) Everything past the shipping cost will be donated to R.O.W. Chicago. Local pickup is available.
2. Bidding takes place in the comments. Tag the person you are outbidding.
3. Minimum bid increment is $10
4. Each bid is an individual entry in a raffle for one of my dead cowboy flasks. Bid as many times as you want, outbid yourself=more entries!
5. The raffle ends tomorrow morning (6/19) 10 a.m. central. I will contact the winner and arrange for transfer of funds and shipping.
Happy bidding!

This Mugshot Monday, we are thrilled to debut a new group of work from artist and @lillstreetceramics instructor Levi Yastrow!

Click to shop the entire collection now on our website, or stop in to the shop and see it all in person. Trust us, these pieces are worth seeing, feeling, and experiencing first-hand.
