Join ceramicist Chris Gustin in the studio for an unforgettable
experience inside the mind of a master. Watch Gustin throw and build
pots as he talks through his process. What is it that makes a pot good
or gives it a lasting visual presence? Through his words, ponder
elements of design. Hear the concerns (functional versus sculptural,
metaphor and meaning) and decisions of this extraordinary maker as he
creates each vessel. Gustin will use both the potter’s wheel and coil
building techniques. Consider, line, proportion, geometry, ratio, scale,
volume. Ask questions about the roles they play as each work of art
unfolds before your eyes.
The weekend begins on the Friday night before the masterclass with a
private gallery talk given by the artist, with wine and hors d’oeuvres.
Then attend two full days of the masterclass including a
lecture/luncheon about the “Architecture of the Vessel” on Saturday.
Also receive a complimentary copy of Gustin’s new catalogue ($40 value)
for his first retrospective exhibition “Chris Gustin: Masterworks in
Clay.”
