This workshop is a one-day intensive teaching students to increase the size of their work using the sectional throwing technique. Generally, it is intended for intermediate/advanced students who are comfortable throwing 4 lbs of clay or more. However, students can scale this technique to use an amount of clay that they find challenging but doable.
The first half of the day will be devoted to clay preparation and an instructional/hands-on demonstration. The second half will give students time to throw and practice the technique of attaching two thrown sections to create one piece. Everyone will have time to make at least one large pot. Participants are welcome to simply use the opportunity for practice, or to keep what they make. Because the workshop is one day only, students are responsible for finishing anything they make during other studio time.
Please wear closed toed shoes and brings any preferred throwing tools. Students should pack lunch/snacks/water or plan to buy from nearby food trucks/establishments on our lunch break.
