  • workshop description

    In this three part intensive, we will throw spheres (a closed form) and then wait to see what form emerges– a cup? A vase? Perhaps, even a sea creature? We will also make altered circular and squared forms that can be used as cups, mugs or vases. We will play with decorating using stamping, slip, and carving. 


    If time allows, we can make some squared dishes.You need to be able to easily center and pull up two pounds of clay.
