Working with clay is like a conversation. For me a newly thrown pot is like a statement that cannot go unanswered. The answer might be to push, cut, rip, texture, or facet. In this workshop we will engage in a conversation beginning with a newly thrown pot, addressing it, while still wet on the wheel seeking to capture expressive moments. Pots will be made with high fire porcelain or white stoneware. Some wheel throwing skills are necessary for this workshop.

Please bring an apron and a towel to this workshop. Tools are provided, but feel free to bring your favorites!
