Howdy,

Short notice, I know, but there will be a skills building and design
workshop at Logan High School, Logan, Utah, USA on December 21-23.
Three days, come what days you can or want. Only $30 per person per
day. Tom (TJ) Edwards will be presenting wheel-throwing tips and
skills building, slides of his travels and studies in China as a
recipient of the Wingate Fellowship, and slides of his own work. Call
Lee Burningham at Logan High School for further information or to
reserve your seat. Space is limited. Phone number 435 755 2380
extension 5111 or e-mail at
Lee.Burningham@loganschools.org

The workshop agenda is as follows:


This workshop is meant to give people from all skill levels the
opportunity to learn and develop wheel throwing techniques. The
techniques that will be covered will vary based on participant
interest, and will focus on improving technical ability and idea
development. Different skill building exercises will be demonstrated
and encouraged in order to promote well made vessels. In addition to
technical processes, the instructor will provide lectures with images
including the evolution of his work and his travel to China. Below
is a general timeline the workshop will follow, please note that it
