About The Class
Instructor: Paul Briggs
Medium: Clay/Handbuilding
Workshop Title: Every Pinch Counts
Move beyond the usual 3-5 inch pinch pot by moving clay upward and around the expanding form. You will gain fluency with bowl and cylindrical forms, refining them during the hardening stages. Having learned to move clay using your hands, you will strategically reserve clay to create relief designs and patterns that emerge from the pinch-formed vessel. Open to all.
A list of supplies you will need to bring to this workshop will be posted shortly.
