Suze Lindsay is conducting a clay workshop for Shakerag Workshops, in
Sewanee, TN, entitled "Exploring the Teapot" in which she will demonstrate
different forms for teapots, including various methods of creating handles,
lids, and spouts. Complete information about the workshop can be seen at
the Shakerag Workshops website -- www.shakerag.org. The workshop will be
held from June 20-25, 2004. Tuition for the week-long workshop is $375;
room and board is $300. Lindsay writes about her class:
"This class will concentrate on the elements of a teapot and teapot
construction. We will focus on craftsmanship and function; we will pay
attention to details of form from foot to spout. We will explore scale and
altering out of the round, and we will concentrate on surface decoration,
using slips on greenware."
Suze Lindsay received her MFA from Louisiana State University in 1992, after
completing a two-year fellowship study at Penland School of Craft in western
North Carolina (1987-89). She was a resident at Penland School for three
years and then settled in the area, where she and her husband, Kent
McLaughlin, own and operate Fork Mountain Pottery. Lindsay received an
Emerging Talent Award from the National Council on Education in the Ceramic
Arts and has exhibited nationally.
