Making Lidded Boxes--A Different Approach

with Martin Karcher

June 19, 2010

=3D20

Every potter is familiar with the closed form approach of making lidded
boxes. Martin will demonstrate a new way that makes it possible to have
textured surfaces on both the outside and the inside of the lid. For
texturing the clay, Martin will use a series of tools such as twisted
wires, springs, combs, stamps and placemats, as well as molds made from
carved woodblocks. Participants are invited to bring their own favorite
texturing tools and ideas. Although the time available will not allow
them to complete a lidded box, the participants will have an opportunity
to practice different ways of texturing the clay and to learn how to
complete the process on their own.
