This workshop is about the fundamentals of pottery making, both hand built and wheel thrown. The workshop focuses on pots for the table, including objects made for serving and preparing food, with Doug sharing his many years of ceramic knowledge and experience. Media & Techniques:  Stoneware clays and glazes in high-fire kilns; soda and gas reduction kilns for finishing; clay thrown on the potter’s wheel or hand built with slabs or coils; slab roller, extruder, press molds and other simple forming techniques. Activities:  Demonstrations are twice daily. There are group lectures and individual instruction. We practice making cylinders and bowls, then move on to spouts and handles. Students progress at their own rates and develop practical skills they can take home to their own studios.
