This workshop intends to demystify working with soft slabs and offers the essential components to creating unique slab built pots. Students will be introduced to the technique of making and working with paper patterns. They will begin with simple functional forms and expand to include components such as lids, feet, and spouts.
One full day will be dedicated to surface which includes slip trailing and the making and applying of terra sigillata. Participants will practice on premade bone dry pots they bring to the workshop.
This workshop emphasizes one-on-one interaction in a supportive, positive environment where experimentation is encouraged and individual development is nurtured.
