Upcoming workshops at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts
Spirit Vessel Workshop with Richard Flores
September 20 – 22, 2013
This
three-day workshop will explore historic and personal approaches to the
vessel. Participants will create small vessel forms, along with
two-dimensional studies, that marry historic exploration and
self-expression. The workshop will culminate in a raku-firing of the
vessels, which the participants will in turn take home with them.
