About this Event
Description:
Explore the intersection of form, function and narration as it pertains to your ceramics practice. We investigate how the utilitarian object can be used as a means of narration. The instructor focuses on throwing and the combining of thrown and handbuilt forms to create functional vessels. Using basic wheel thrown parts, demonstrations will cover a variety of altering and assembling techniques. This engaging workshop focuses on creating functional wares such as mugs, bowls, jars, pitchers and teapots. Surface techniques will also be demonstrated and discussed.
