2-Day Workshop: The Diminutive Teapot and Dwippy Glaze Play with Fong Choo

In this 2-Day 3-Wings Workshop, students will watch Choo create his master pieces using the potter’s wheel and other hand building techniques. He will explore his utilitarian roots: creating and exploring bowls, mugs, vases and platters. Choo will give the secrets behind his “Dwippy” methods of glaze play. This somewhat unorthodox method demonstrates and is designed to create a dazzling palette of finishes. Results have been described many ways: Luscious. Random. Runny. Marbly. Amazing. And ‘Dwippy.’ Choo likes to say “They’re so loose they slide.
Students have the opportunity to glaze 1or 2 of their very own bisqued pots in the “Dwippy” style after the Demo. Must be cone 6 or High fire clay body (ex. B-Mix) and now larger than 8 inches in any direction. (Highly Recommended) Choo is also highly regarded for his use of alternative materials in his handles. Attendees will be shown creative ways to use cane and reed in handle assemblages for the teapots.
