Registration
Joan Bruneau
Monday to Friday, May 20 – May 24, 2024
10:00am – 4:00pm
Join studio potter and educator, Joan Bruneau for this five day workshop and build on your existing throwing skills while developing your personal vocabulary of forms. Wheel-thrown vertical forms will be explored starting with cylinders, followed by concave and convex forms. Altering, coil throwing, forming spouts and handles and assembling forms will be demonstrated and explored by participants. The emphasis will be on the process of exploring thrown and assembled forms rather than producing finished pieces.
Please Note: This workshop is for students with intermediate to advanced experience in wheel throwing.
This workshop is comprised of 5 working sessions (6hrs/day) PLUS one final pick-up day (1hr) on Sunday, May 26th.
Students should bring:
- An Apron
- A Hand Towel
- Throwing and hand-building tools (the School offers use of a small collection of entry level tools)
