In this two-day workshop, we will explore the art of creating simple ceramic forms that serve as vessels to capture elements of the landscape around us. The first day will focus on building simple forms, using coil and pinch techniques to craft a variety of shapes. On the second day participants are welcome to bring in materials that hold special significance, which we will recreate in clay and use as surface decoration for the forms created on the previous day. We will explore the work of historical artists like Bernard Palissy and contemporary artists like Kim Dickey, who draw inspiration from their surroundings. This workshop is for all skill levels – no previous ceramic experience is required.
