Studio Saturday: Egyptian Pottery Demo and Craft Making with Bill Moore
Join us on May 17 for another incredible Studio Saturday!
The Louisiana Art & Science Museum (LASM) invites visitors to a special hands-on experience on Saturday, May 17, from 10 AM to 12 PM. As part of the museum’s Studio Saturday series, local ceramicist Bill Moore will lead an open-format pottery demonstration focused on Egyptian-style pottery, sharing his expertise and passion for the craft with participants. This event is free with general admission and free for LASM members.
Dr. Bill Moore, a retired physician turned accomplished ceramic artist, specializes in functional pottery designed for everyday use. Over the years, Moore has studied with renowned teachers in North Carolina and now brings his knowledge to inspire a new generation of pottery enthusiasts. During the demonstration, Moore will showcase the process of throwing pottery on the wheel, as well as discuss glazing and firing techniques. His interactive teaching style encourages questions and engagement throughout the session.
This Studio Saturday is open to all ages and provides an exciting opportunity to learn about the rich history and techniques behind Egyptian pottery. Attendees will also have the chance to create their own pieces under the guidance of LASM staff at a separate hand-building table. In addition to the demonstration, Bill Moore will have his pottery available for purchase, with all proceeds benefiting LASM's mission and programs.
This event is free with general admission and free for LASM members. If you're interested in attending future Studio Saturday programs, please visit lasm.org for more information.
