Join resident potter Ramon Camarillo as he demonstrates how to throw
large, even, lightweight pots. In this 2-day workshop participants will
learn how to throw 5 to 25 lbs of clay, using the whole amount that was
started with and eliminating the wasteful trimming process. This
technique is called "throwing from both ends." Ramon will guide
participants as they learn to create their own large scale masterpieces
with this technique.

work has been exhibited in numerous galleries in the U.S. and he has
been featured in both "Clay Times" and 'Ceramics Monthly' publications.
