Clay Summer Session 5
July 18 – August 2, 2021
George Bowes and Judith Salomon
Cone 5 Confluence
Whether your experiences in clay are limited or you are a mid-career artist, our workshop will jump-start your excitement about clay forming techniques. Judith uses slabs to build functional and sculptural forms. George produces thrown and altered utilitarian works. We’ll explore cone 5 porcelain, casting slip, and a darker clay body, and present multiple surface options using commercial and studio-based slips and glazes. Forming techniques will include slab building, pinching, coiling, throwing, and altering. Electric oxidation firings and a salt firing will finish our pieces. All levels. Upper clay studio.
