Making Lidded Boxes--A Different Approach

with Martin Karcher

Saturday, June 19, 2010; 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

=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.

Martin Karcher has been making pots since 1974, when he was
introduced to pottery by Nirmala Patwardhan, a disciple of Bernard Leach
living in India. He joined the Lee Arts Center in 1994 and has taken
workshops from a number of well-known clay masters. He truly enjoys the
process and the endless challenges that pottery making entails. A
juried member of both the Kiln Club and the Ceramic Guild, he exhibits
his work regularly at the Scope Gallery of the Torpedo Factory in
Alexandria, VA.
