Monday to Friday, May 19 – May 23, 2025
10:00am – 4:00pm
Build on your wheel-throwing and hand-building skills as we explore composite vertical and horizontal vase shapes with lids. Hand building using thrown parts and lids will be explored. We will focus on developing experimental forms in this five-day workshop rather than making finished pieces. Participants’ pieces will be bisque fired and available for pick up after the workshop.
Please note: This workshop is for students with advanced and intermediate wheel throwing experience.
Students should bring:
- An Apron
- A Hand Towel
- Recommended: throwing and hand-building tools: scoring tool, sharp fettling knife and/or exacto knife, small stiff paint brush to apply slurry. The LSA offers use of a small collection of entry level tools.
