Description: This workshop is designed for people that have no experience in ceramics but have always felt that inner artist just waiting to be discovered. The best part: you don’t have to make something ugly – your pet will love it even if it’s gorgeous! The journey is more important than the destination in this one-of-a-kind workshop. Come have fun, learn something new, and maybe decide if this is a hobby you would like to pursue.
In this workshop, students will get a crash course in how to build and decorate a slab bowl. After a demo of how to use the slab roller, students will learn techniques for how to cut, score, and slip as well as how to add a coil to the seam of the bowl. Students will use underglazes and attach embellishments to their bowls all with expert guidance by your instructor.
**Due to the firing schedule and time restraints of a one day workshop, the instructor will apply clear glaze to the platters at a later date and pieces will be available for pickup 2-3 weeks after class. Arrangement can be made with the instructor to have your project mailed to you.
Level: Beginner, Ages 17+
