About The Class

Instructor: Tony Clennell

Medium: Clay/Wheel

Workshop Title: Casual Pots and Extreme Handles

Focus will be on larger-than-life utilitarian pottery, especially details, in this participatory throwing workshop. Thrown, pulled and hand-built handles will be explored. Expect to be making work 2-3 times larger than usual including sectional or composite throwing. Mark making and gesture play a big role. Loosen up and enjoy the ride.
Open to intermediate to advanced potters.
