Intuitive Hand Building intensive with Melissa Weiss
In this five-day workshop, participants will be guided through instruction of coil, pinch and carving techniques to make a variety of forms in clay. We will cover cups, plates, and bowls, with a special focus on handles and feet. The group will spend time on surface decoration and glazing techniques, including demonstrations by Melissa on how to use underglaze to decorate and draw on our pots. Students will participate in engaging conversations on how to find their voice and explore materials to further in their own practice.
Please note: All ceramics projects need to be fired in a pottery kiln and take approximately a month before they are ready to be taken home. You will receive an email once pieces are ready for pickup. Groundworks will discard ceramics projects 60 days after pieces are out of the kiln unless you've made direct arrangements.
Class will meet 10:00am-4:00pm with a break for lunch for 5 days.
Ages: 16+
Workshop cost covers all materials and tools.
