"Before
the Alter & Beyond"

Throwing,
Altering,
10am
- 5pm &
Texturing
We will
start by making a series of cylinders in three pulls to get
your
hands used to the motion of pushing the clay. (Think
of this as pottery calisthenics)
You will then move on to a series of round forms to be used
for altering the next day. (...See
below...If
you are taking the "Practice Makes Perfect" workshop
)
We will
transform the pottery made on the first day by using a number
of handbuilding techniques. You'll paddle, roll, drop,
squeeze, impress
and carve your way through the leather hard pots, giving you
the
opportunity to try new things. The focus will be
on pushing your limits
and
taking risks with different ideas.
Please email me if you are interested in coming to this
workshop.

''Practice
Makes Perfect''
Working in Series
10am - 5pm
This
workshop will focus on enhancing your skills using production
pottery techniques......
We will
start by making a series of cylinders in three pulls to get
your
hands used to the motion of pushing the clay. (think
of this as pottery calisthenics)
You will then move on to a series of round forms, and later
we will
briefly explore the bowl form and how it differs from the cylinder.
Out of those pieces saved for the next day we will work on handle
pulling and making attachments. The pots from the previous
day
will also be used for altering and texturing exploration.
Even
though you will have a few nice pieces at the end of the second
day, the goal will not be making finished pots. Instead
it will be about
exercising your throwing muscles by pushing your limits.
Being
free from the pressure of making a product will help in developing
a fluidity of motion while you work, and give you the opportunity
to take
risks with different ideas.
It may
never be your intention to be a production potter, but the practice
you get from working in a series will help make each individual
pot easier to form, and the ideas you have in your mind flow
smoother from your fingertips.

workshop.
