BODY, GLAZE & SURFACE - Upcoming workshops
Creating Sculptural Pots with Matt Kelleher
Saturday April 6-Sunday April 7
Using demos, student participation and “what if” scenarios, Matt Kelleher will show you how to make bigger, more sculptural and better designed pots.
In this interactive demo workshop, students will follow Matt as he starts with initial design, moves into transferring patterns on clay forms, and then explores advanced techniques for creating larger multi-piece forms. Participants will be important partners as Matt asks for help to resolve design issues as the work develops.
Matt will also be giving a free artist talk on Creating and Design Better Pots on Friday night, April 5th, from 6-8 pm.
Joe Hicks Expanded Shino Glaze & Carbon Trap Firing
Friday, April 27
Joe Hicks' popular Shino Workshop with special District Clay Carbon Trap Firing has been expanded to include new Shino application techniques and firing schedules.
These include new demos on masking and use of ceramic decals. Students will be able to use these techniques on their bisqued pots when they apply glazes. These techniques are well suited to Shino’s sensitivity to glaze thickness and will give potters the ability to integrate fascinating textures and patterns into your work.
Joe will give a free artist talk for his solo show open at the District Clay Gallery on Saturday evening, March 23rd.
