Description

*NOTE* The date has changed for this workshop. The workshop will take place on Wednesday October 13th and Wednesday October 20th.

Learn how to use sgraffito -- a process of carving and removing material to create textured designs -- in your own ceramic work. Approachable and fun, this pottery workshop will take place over two sessions. During the first session, you will carve premade plates. The following week, once the works have been fired, you will collect your finished piece and join the class for a wine reception, friendly critique, and pottery wheel demonstration. This course is great for beginners and those looking to add a new technique to their creative practice.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a potter. Working with clay takes me to a whole different world, where my soul is quiet, and my head is clear. I enjoy the nature of clay. It is an ever-evolving medium that teaches me something new each day. The slow deliberate process of pottery gives me an opportunity to connect with the material and create with intention. Much of my work is done with a potter’s wheel. The physical exertion, fluidity of motion, and fragility of wet clay are exhilarating! Creating just the right curve. Getting an extra inch of height. I enjoy creating useful items that fit the hand. Practical pots that are both balanced and silly. Nature-inspired items that represent the beauty I see around me. I love to make things that make others smile.

Unpretentious, individual, colorful, and sometimes humorous. Those are my pots.
