Join Made in VA exhibiting artist Megan Angolia for a master class inspired by her artistic viewpoint and process. By blending traditional ceramic methods with contemporary content, she creates sculpted portraits of women suspended in candid emotion. Angolia’s truthful portraits serve to showcase the richness of the human experience in all its moments.
In this workshop, you’ll hear from the artist how to sculpt an expressive face in clay and learn to capture the anatomical components of a person's likeness by sculpting a face in dynamic expression. Basic sculpting experience is recommended but not required. There will be a brief lunch break, so it’s best to bring a bag lunch.

MAIN GALLERY
For over 25 years, we have maintained a strong tradition of celebrating regional artists through our annual juried exhibition, New Waves. Our story finds its roots in a concerned and connected artist community. Virginia MOCA has never lost the goal of keeping ties with the talented artists who live close to our doors.
As our community evolves, so will the museum and its traditions. This year, New Waves has become Made in VA. The new title reasserts our commitment to Virginia artists. We will continue to bring together jurors who are at the top of their field with the talented contemporary artists found in the Commonwealth. With the new name come changes intended to strengthen our award program and provide opportunities for the growth and professional development of the selected artists.
