In this intensive two-week workshop, students will be pushed to

unconventional perspectives and insights from ceramics history
encompassing contemporary practice. Demonstrations will include bizarre
throwing and hand-building techniques, slips and glazes. This course is
an opportunity for one-on-one interaction relative to your work and

experience is required.
