Description
This hands-on workshop will benefit the beginner to the advanced student in creating new solutions to age-old questions of how to finish pieces with spouts.
Using wheel throwing, handbuilding, and other tools, this intensive 1-day workshop will include demonstrations and hands-on work to address techniques and finishes for creating spouts for all varieties of pottery forms. Questions of utility and aesthetics will be discussed throughout, along with brainstorming about how to incorporate the spout element in traditional and non-traditional ways.
Basic wheel-throwing skills will be covered briefly at the beginning of the workshop. Though not required, students are encouraged to have/bring leather-hard forms to work with – this will allow them to work with some techniques as they are introduced.
What to Bring
-Clay we suggest bringing 25lbs
If you are not a current member or student at Chases Garage please bring your own clay. Those bringing their own clay will be responsible for bringing their pieces home and will need to process them through their own kilns.
You are welcome to purchase ^10 clay from our studio to use during the workshop. There will be a separate fee if you would like us to fully process your work through our kilns. You will need to schedule a time to come in and glaze any pieces made during the workshop.
-Notebook + something to write with
-Your favorite throwing + hand building tools
-Inspiration images (digital) of spouted forms
-1-2 pre-made leather hard vessels to work directly on (perhaps an unspouted pitcher and/or teapot body)
-Feel free to bring 1-2 physical examples of spouted/pouring forms you have previously made
-Box/packing material for transporting work home
-There is a kitchen/fridge here if you would like to bring a snack/lunch along with you.
Artists not affiliated with Chases Garage are welcome to register!
