Discover exciting new techniques Altering
your style in a comparatively small but significant way can bring new
energy and excitement to your work. This conference allows you to learn
from multiple artists that are both throwers and handbuilders. Each
artist will be demonstrating many ways to alter the form and surface
that will have you ready to get back to the studio to try out new ideas.

Each
of these talented and engaging artists are ready to share their
techniques and ideas with you over a two day conference. This conference
is open to artists at all levels: from enthusiastic amateur, to the
teacher, and for the professional. No matter what level you are, if
you’re open to learning and connecting with other ceramic artists then
this is the conference for YOU!
