Service Description
Join us for a 2-day workshop! Friday March 13th 11am-5pm (1 hour lunch break) Saturday March 14th 11am-5pm (1 hour lunch break) Clayroom Potrero: 1431 17th St, San Francisco, CA In this two-day intensive workshop, students will focus on creating taller wheel-thrown forms and exploring surface design using underglaze techniques. Day 1: Explore techniques for achieving height with stability and intention. Students will practice centering larger amounts of clay, pulling tall consistent walls, and shaping balanced vertical forms. We will be starting with 1 pound of clay and working our way up to 5, 10, and 15 pounds. Day 2: Students will trim their pieces and explore surface decoration techniques using underglazes. Each participant will receive one greenware tile for practicing underglaze painting, and are welcome to bring their own bone-dry greenware to paint as well. (This kind of underglaze work is best applied at the bone-dry stage.) This workshop is ideal for potters looking to level up their throwing skills and add expressive surface detail to their work.
