Cost: $120 reduced to $95 reduced scholarship
fee

In this one and a half day workshop John will demonstrate a variety of
throwing, clay-handling and decorating techniques he uses in his own work.
Freshly-thrown forms are altered while still on the wheel, or are removed to
be stretched, or cut and re-assembled. Various different types of handles
and
feet (pulled, wire-cut or coiled) are added at leather hard stage. He
begins
glaze decoration on the wheel with ribbing, chattering, inlay and fabric
impression, and continues at leather hard stage using sponged and trailed
slips and paper resist.These processes will be applied to functional items
such as plates, dishes, bowls, jugs, bottles and candleholders.

Whether you work on the wheel or handbuild, there will be something new to
enliven and inspire your own work.
