CLAY – SUMMER SESSION 3
JUNE 15-27, 2025 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Chris Staley
Making Pots Personal

How do we learn to make pots that are uniquely our own? This workshop will focus on both the how and the why of making pots. There will be frequent demonstrations on a myriad of throwing and handbuilding techniques. And we will engage in creative exercises that will inspire questions and dialogue. The intent is to lead us to a deeper understanding of our work. The workshop will include one-on-one discussions with each student. With an open heart and seeker’s spirit all are welcome in this shared search for meaning. We will fire reduction and salt kilns. All levels. Upper clay studio.
