Thursday clay workshops with Isabel Souza will offer beginner and intermediate students the chance to strengthen their wheel throwing abilities and learn new techniques that will help elevate their work. The majority of the class will be guided based on the needs and interests of participating students. The group will go over different ways to use some of my favorite tools, handle making, and other decorative techniques. These workshops will offer basic steps including centering, throwing, trimming and glazing ceramic wares.
Isabel Souza is a ceramic artist and teacher based in Truro, Massachusetts. Isabel’s goal as a ceramic artist is to create objects that hold stories and add meaning to our surroundings. Her designs aim to feel personal in how they interact with the human body, whether it is a mug that we hold to our lips and cradle in our hands for warmth, a serving bowl that is passed between loved ones at a dinner table or a pair of vibrant earrings that we thread through our ears on special occasions. Isabel’s hope is that her works spark as much joy for their users as the creative process kindles for her.
