Day 1: May 16th, 5-8PM (Throwing, Demonstrations) Day 2: May 17th, 10AM-4PM (Throwing, Demonstrations, Trimming & Finishing)
In this two part workshop students will learn from demonstrations and ample time at the wheel, exploring the intricacies of constructing enclosed boxes and lidded containers. Applying foundational knowledge on the wheel, workshop participants will push themselves to throw and alter functional forms that can serve as salt cellars, spice jars, jewelry boxes, sugar jars, garlic keepers, treasure jars, and urns. Students will learn how to throw forms, and watch demos on how to trim the form. Part 1 will explore throwing, and pieces will dry in overnight before we reconvene for part 2 on Saturday. More throwing, trimming, practice and demonstration will complete the workshop on Saturday.
This workshop is open to individuals with a solid foundation in their own ceramics practice; we ask that beginners and students/makers with less than 1 year of experience do not register, as instructors will be building upon foundational techniques throughout this workshop. Participants can look forward to both demonstrations and hands-on wheel work to achieve dynamic enclosed lidded forms throughout this workshop.
Calipers will be a required material/tool for this workshop and participants will have the option to purchase with their registration if they don’t have their own to bring to the weekend. Firing is not included in this demonstration and skill based workshop; Easthampton Clay members who register will have the option to trim and fire with our studio beyond the workshop. Any outside participants will have the option to bring trimmed pieces back for a bisque firing at an additional fee.
