This hands-on workshop will benefit the beginner to the advanced student in creating new solutions to age-old questions of how to finish pieces with spouts.

Using wheel throwing, handbuilding, and other tools, this intensive workshop will include daily demonstrations and hands-on work to address techniques and finishes for creating spouts for all varieties of pottery forms.  Questions of utility and aesthetics will be discussed throughout, along with brainstorming about how to incorporate the spout element in traditional and non-traditional ways.

Tyler received a BFA from Alfred University and a MFA from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and has been a studio potter for over 30 years.  Tyler’s functional ceramics are exhibited internationally in group and juried exhibitions.  His current work follows the tradition of salt firing, in combination with the more contemporary process of soda firing, capitalizing on the unique color and surface variations that are a natural product of the process.
