Workshop Description: Join Deb Schwartzkopf at 18 Hands Gallery for a three-day hands-on workshop. Demonstrations will approach the functional vessel from a standpoint of shape. Hands-on exercises will offer a chance to problem-solve and practice combining parts and pieces. Pattern making will be covered as we hand-build with slabs. In addition, we will shape the slabs with coiled, clay bisque molds we make in session. Simple thrown pieces will be cut and altered. In the end, all these approaches will be combined to making non-round, expressive shapes. While making, Deb will also discuss the way she thinks about surface and how it can change the way the form is perceived and what she intends it to communicate. This workshop will offer many different examples of building with clay that will enrich the skills of both the hand-builder and the wheel thrower.
