I had a lot of fun these past two weekends teaching workshops. The first was at the Reston Community Center pottery. It was my first visit to that studio – what an excellent facility! Everyone enjoyed making two-part pieces and playing with wiggle-wires and texturing. Then last weekend was a one-day workshop focused on Lamps at Round Hill Arts. I was struck by how clean and well-organized both places were. And reminded how well potters tend to get along with each other. During both workshops, participants shared space, equipment with great generosity. Everyone jumped in to help with cleanup. Both workshops fostered a great exchange of information and ideas.
Next up are two workshops at City Clay in Charlottesville, VA:
June 23-24 – Playing With Light – a two-day, hands-on throwing workshop with a focus on creating texture and designs that look great when lit from above.
July 21-22 – Decorating in Wet Clay – a two-day, hands-on throwing workshop focused on altering and decorating newly thrown pots using underglazes, wiggle-wires and carving.
Details and registration for both those workshops at the City Clay Website.
