August 30-31: Exploring Form: The Tea Bowl
Tea and tea bowls are in an ever evolving dialog with tradition, expression, and function. In this workshop Andrew and participants will explore different approaches to making tea bowls through several hand building techniques, and examine contemporary and historic artist’s approach to the form that began Andrew’s exploration of pottery while he was teaching English in rural Japan.
This is a two day wet clay building workshop with our program manager Andrew Sartorius. Each day begins at 10 a.m. (participants should bring their own lunch to enjoy or expect to go our for lunch) and concludes at 4 p.m.. The workshop will focus on a series of demonstrations of different approaches to making tea bowls.
6 person maximum
Things to bring:
A toothed metal rib for scoring, metal rib, wooden ribs, your favorite sculpting tools, shredder rasp (or rasp of your choice), needle tool, snacks, if you have a banding wheel (this is not required but can be helpful the studio currently only has a limited number).
The studio uses several different cone 10 clays that participants will learn about and have the opportunity to purchase additional clay after the workshop if desired. If you would prefer to bring your cone 10 clay body that is acceptable so long as all the reclaim is kept separate from our studio clay. No cone 6 clays please.
