Mechanical Clay with Andrew Clark

ANDREW'S STORY

"I am currently exploring work that comes from an interest in machinery and engineering. Influenced by schematic cutaway drawings and simple mechanical devices I aim to make functional pottery that features a mechanized process. Terra sigillata and underglaze allows me to put moving parts into my work. Bright contrasting colors separate the layers I create which is similar to schematic drawings separating each part of the machine through color. Through the process of problem solving I seek to find a combination of a simple functional vessel and a complex machine."

During the 2 day workshop Andrew will share with us his stamping and altering techniques making mugs and other pieces with mechanical parts. He will also demonstrate and discuss some of his surface finishing using terra sigillata and underglazes.

Andrew Clark is the Resident Studio Potter at the Companion Gallery in Tennessee.
