2009 Workshops |
This fast-paced two day hands-on workshop with one of the leading studio potters in the country will give students with little or no experience an opportunity to try their hand at the wheel with expert guidance and for those with more experience a chance to hone their skills. Demonstrations on throwing techniques, trimming, handles and assembling complex forms will be just a taste of what you get from Jaeger, whose attention to form and use of opulent glazes in her utilitarian ware invite touch and everyday use. This workshop is open to artists of all skill levels. Jaeger will also do a glaze decoration demonstration and give a talk about her work and influences. |
