Narrowing In: Closed Forms & Narrow-Necked Vases w/ Kate Bevington

Sunday, April 27th, 3:00-6:00pm

$90, intermediate/advanced levels

Does your clay sometimes buckle when you try to close in the rim? Do you find it difficult to trim pots you can’t turn upside down? In this workshop students will work on lengthening and tapering their rims to make beautifully formed pots with slender necks, and learn how to trim pots from the bottom up.

Prerequisite: Students must be able to throw a well-centered cylinder that is 4 inches high.  


overglaze decals & luster

Overglaze decals and luster are applied to a finished glazed (shiny) surface and fired for a third time. This workshop will explore both. The luster options will be gold and silver for accents, and the decals are pre-printed in various colors and designs. Each participant should be prepared to bring finished shiny-surfaced (not matte-finish) pieces to fill a limited space.

It is recommended to bring pieces that are LIGHT COLORED in glaze, as the luster and decals show up better on them.

This intermediate/advanced workshop will teach students with basic wheel-throwing experience how to increase the scale and complexity of their work by introducing multiple approaches to composite forms.  In this context, the wheel will be used to create parts (to be assembled) rather than finished forms.  Students will learn how to push past typical circular and symmetrical silhouettes into more complex shapes.  Demonstrations will include forms such as stacked vases, oval platters, teapots, and more!  While there will be many group demonstrations, time will also be set aside for individual help to support students in applying these techniques to their own body of work.

  • Prerequisite:  Students are expected to be able to center and throw a 4 inch cylinder on the wheel.
