Animated Pots with Stephen Palmer
Animated Pots Workshop
with Stephen Palmer
Sat. & Sun., September 27th & 28th, 10-4
$300
In this workshop the students will learn a new technique for hand building a ceramic box. Also, they will expand their knowledge of different ways of finishing the surface of the piece by using texture rollers and layering of underglazes. In addition, the student will learn to make a creature using a hollow form technique. We will discuss size and proportion in the class to ensure that their pieces work as a whole unit. At the end of the workshop, the student will have a finished piece, the skills and hopefully the inspiration to continue making more art.
This workshop is designed for anyone with a working knowledge of the basic techniques of creating a hand-built piece.
We make a box on the first day of the workshop and on the second day, we create a small creature for the boxes.
BYOL (bring your own lunch). Drinks will be provided.
Price includes all supplies.
Note: pieces will be fired after the fact and available at a later date.
This class is limited to 8.
Stephen Palmer received his B.F.A. from Rhode Island College, and continued his study of sculpture in Italy at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. As a member of the South County Art Association in RI and now at City Clay, in Charlottesville, VA, Stephen continues to explore the many forms and functions of clay. Through teaching, he hopes to share and ignite the same passion and excitement in his students that he has for the ceramic form.

To protect our kiln, clay must be from our shop. We have our own studio glazes for you to use. We do not allow any other glazes or underglazes on pots we are to fire for you. You are welcome to bring your own tools, but beginner tools will be provided.
