From there, participants will explore the fundamentals of sculptural integration, learning strategies for altering forms, incorporating sculptural elements, and successfully attaching additions to thrown vessels. Discussions on form, balance, and finishing techniques will help guide participants in creating expressive, sculptural ceramic works that move beyond traditional forms. Students must know how to center at least 3 lbs. • Apron and one or two hand towels • Personal throwing tools. All materials and a bisque firing of one piece is included in workshop fee. Any additional pieces can be fired for a fee. Lunch will be provided each day. Max 12 people.
