Take a journey over yonder to Muddy Creek Studio and learn from one of the best, Heather Stearns! The morning workshop will be a demonstration of 3 types of lidded vessels: throwing, trimming, sizing, balance of form, etc. From there you’ll move on to a hands-on exploration of handles with lots of practice. After a lunch break (bring your own) will be a demonstration and time to practice surface design techniques including bold carving, wax resist design, and effective glazing. There will be plenty of time for questions. Participants should bring 3-5 bisque fired pots to glaze. Please note this intensive is for intermediate/advanced adult students only.
