WHEN: February 4^th – 6 ^th 2011 COST: Guild Members - $80 Non members – $100 REGISTRATION: To register for the workshop, contact Maggie Gray at studioterrafirma@gmail.com DESCRIPTION: Making an Impression The workshop will focus on larger than life utilitarian pottery for occasional use. We will pay attention to the details on larger than life casseroles, pitchers, bowls, and plates so they may be used for celebration and presentation. Teapots and cups are always well worth a visit. My specialty over the years has been sectional or composite throwing where I add many pieces together to make one vessel. Participants that normally cannot throw more than a few pounds of clay often throw with ease 3- 5 times as much after the session. Recent work has been an exploration of textures using roulettes, stamps and many found objects. The maker’s marks and details of process are what I am interested in leaving in the finished work. On the Sunday afternoon I would like to lead a group critique. Each participant is asked to bring a piece of their work so that we might talk about the strengths of the work and how it may possibly be improved. I find a glass of wine is often a good way to relax and enjoy the process.
