10-3:30 At The Clay School Cost $90 Pot Luck lunch Ben Eberle will be doing a day of demonstrations at The Clay School on Saturday Sept 10th.
My current work is all functional pottery. I often describe my process like this: "I never make the same pot twice." In fact, I've tried. Didn't work. Instead, using a small collection of custom, textured wood blocks, I imprint, alter, and move each pot's surface with the hope that it retains its material "softness" after the final firing. It's a hard aesthetic to capture, and it keeps me constantly searching. Ben will also be teaching us about his cone 10 wood-soda firing process and students who are registered for the wood-soda firing workshop with Ben in November can see and understand the effects it will have on their work. But EVERYONE is welcome at this workshop to learn how Ben creates his soft, loose, beautiful surfaces. |
