Many people shy away from learning how to make pinch pots, often
equating it with elementary processes that lack elegance and delicacy.
In this two-day workshop, we will challenge this thinking. By using only
her hands and a few basic tools, Emily will show several different ways
to create elegant pinched and coiled forms such as pitchers, cups, open
vessels and vases. We will discuss tapering forms and how to create
volume by simply manipulating the clay during the building process.
Additionally, she will demonstrate how she creates and uses bisque and
greenware molds to help support and shape complex bases. The workshop
will be divided up into 3-hour demo in the morning and three hours of
hands on time in the afternoon. This workshop is for all skill levels;
no previous ceramic experience is required.
