Do you wish you would have take ceramics in school so that you could have a broad understanding of the process and vernacular? This 2 day workshop is the answer. We'll address questions like:
-what is clay?
-what is glaze?
-what are the names of common tools?
-how does firing work?
-what are common, basic forming methods? (wheel, pinch, slab, etc)
We'll do this in a fun and suppported setting which also includes plenty of hands on making opportunity. You'll learn basics, receive wheel and handbuilding instruction, see demos, and have a chance to try your hand at multiple techniques. The works you make will be fired for your later pickup. Bring your list of questions!
You'll get 3 forms of instruction- lecture, master demos, and 1:1 coaching. When you're not in the studio, enjoy the beautiful East Creek campus, hang out by the creek, go for a hike, or explore the local logging culture of Willamina, OR.
