Available spots
Service Description
Workshop is 9AM-4PM Saturday and Sunday, Lunch is included. Come join us for this 2 day workshop at Third Coast Clay for a unique opportunity to work with clay artist,Chris Melia! Chris Melia is teaching a two-day, hands-on workshop exploring form, texture, and the “why” behind each piece. He’ll demonstrate his approach to throwing and altering a variety of forms, with an emphasis on how decisions made on the wheel create a foundation for the finished piece. Along the way, Chris will demonstrate specific throwing and trimming techniques, as well as how he uses specialized slips, texture, and surface treatments to develop his distinctive work. Participants will have plenty of opportunities for hands-on exploration and experimentation as they work through these techniques themselves. Questions and discussion are encouraged throughout the workshop as Chris shares not only how he approaches each process, but how he decides when and why to use them. All materials provided. Basic throwing skills recommended. ***Third Coast Clay Monthly Members receive a 15% discount and current students receive 10%.***
