Gay Smith Workshop Registration

Exciting and easily utilized techniques of altering the surface and forms of freshly thrown, soft clay will be demonstrated. Using these techniques, along with some simple tips, can make your pots look lively. These techniques are easily incorporated into your own work. We’ll cover faceting, fluting, impressing, ovaling, squaring, triangulating. We’ll follow our interests by engaging in lively conversations that can include how to follow your own aesthetic to marketing to single firing to soda firing.
