We will be achieving forms of increasing height and volume by directly stacking two or more cylinders of any size participants can confidently throw. Such forms may be either pottery or sculpturally oriented. We will also paddle thrown, enclosed “pillow” forms for functional or sculptural purposes. Come prepared to discover new ways of exploring scale and form.
