Learn about a variety of clays to create proper form, proportion, shape and balance of functional pots. This workshop is for the intermediate to advanced student. Explore the use of engobes and slips as well as other finishing techniques. The purpose of the engobe can be as different as the varied forms it comes in: to give color to a piece; to improve the surface texture; to provide a ground to do further decoration on; and to add textures (i.e. incising sgraffito). Wheel throwing techniques will be utilized. Defining your style – “to find your voice” – through your creativity in ceramics. Demos, a slide presentation, and critiques included.

Guadalupe Lanning Robinson – “A great fascination with different colored clays and the textures that can be produced with stoneware has led me to experiment with and study clays for the past thirty years . . . My work has developed from the respect I have for clay and the joy I experience when working with it.”
