Workshops!
I love teaching workshops or coming to schools as a visiting artist. If you’re interested in a workshop, please contact me for scheduling and pricing: meredithhost@gmail.com
Currently booking for 2026!
Here are some upcoming workshops as well as past workshops and visiting artist gigs.
June 15-21, 2025
H.O.T. Clay at Idyllwild
Idyllwild, CA
This surface workshop explores screen-printing, stenciling, and underglaze transfers on greenware. Create layered, dynamic surfaces on hand-built forms, experiment with custom silk screens and color palettes, and learn techniques to enhance your decorative style.
I’ve led workshops at studios and been a visiting artist at several schools across the country.
