Which came first, the Pot or the Idea?

As a maker, a question I often get—Where did that idea come from? Everywhere! This class will focus on the investigations and explorations that go into creating and refining functional pottery. We will have daily discussions, demonstrations, and experimentation-oriented exercises. Primarily using a stoneware clay, we will work on the wheel and with hand building techniques including slab, carving, and other simple alterations. Investigations include, making bisque molds, spouts and handles, what ‘feels’ right, and mark making. We will be bisque firing. All levels welcome ages 14+
