As part of Objects at Play exhibition, join artist Agustina Markez for a hands-on workshop exploring the transformation of the football through surface, color, and gesture.
🗓️ Tuesday, July 14th | 6 to 8pm
đź“ŤÂ 67 West St., Studio 513
In this session, participants will work directly on bisque ceramic footballs, selecting colors and details to create a piece that feels personal and sculptural. From the first brushstrokes to the final finish, you’ll reimagine the ball as a piece of art, existing between object and sculpture, carrying traces of your own process, team and story.
Drawing from her ceramic practice, where deflated footballs are reinterpreted as solid sculptural forms, Agustina explores the moment an object loses its function but gains a new presence. What once was soft and in motion becomes fixed, silent, and permanent — a surface for memory, failure, and reinterpretation.
Each ceramic ball holds the imprint of this transformation: from sport object to sculptural artifact, from use to observation.
NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED! All materials included + drinks and bites.
Take home a ball painted by you!Â
