In this inspiring ceramics workshop, you'll learn to create stunning incised forms and double-walled vessels that seem to defy physics and conventional thought. Here’s what you can expect:
Designing Forms: Start by designing open and closed vessels that "speak" to you.
Creating Patterns: Explore patterns using texture tools, and learn techniques for altering and incising pieces.
Throwing Techniques: Master the art of throwing tall, even walls, creating bulbous forms, and making multi-piece forms.
Building Larger Forms: Progressively create larger pieces, limited only by the size of your kiln.
Adding Character: Incorporate texture, alterations, and incising to add unique character to your designs.
Wheel Mastery: Learn tips and tricks to enhance your time at the wheel, including body dynamics, speed, and hand positions.
By the end of this workshop, you'll have a new perspective on mastering the wheel and creating impressive ceramic pieces. Join us for a journey of creativity and skill-building!
You’ll be asked to bring along your "can't live without" throwing tools.
