Pull & Stretch Throwing Boot Camp
Available spots
Service Description
Pull & Stretch: Thrown & Altered Boot Camp In this five-day, hands-on ceramics workshop with Valerie Banes Hancock, we’ll explore the expressive possibilities of throwing and altering clay on the wheel. Participants will build on foundational throwing skills while learning to pull, stretch, and manipulate thrown forms into unique, dynamic shapes. We’ll work with forms including mugs, bowls, jars, and more, discovering how simple alterations can transform the familiar vessels into something individual and distinctive. To finish and enhance our forms, we’ll also explore constructing hollow hand built handles, adding another dimension of form and function to our vessels. Students must know how to center and bring: • Apron and one or two hand towels • Sketch book to plan and draw in • Heat Gun if you have it. • Packing materials and boxes to take your leather hard pieces home. We will bisque fire 1 piece for you as a part of the class. *You can make arrangements with 3rd Coast Clay to fire your pieces for a fee. Lunch will be provided each day. Max 14 people.
