We have a slightly different structure for our summer workshop offerings.
We are still offering five-day and weekend workshops, but we also are
presenting a three-week studio intensive with Suze Lindsay from June 14-Jul=
y
2. As you may know, Lindsay is one of the most dynamic potters in North
America today. She works on the wheel, but often uses the wheel to make
components for handbuilt work. She has a very original surface decoration
style, and she is famed as an excellent workshop teacher. If you want to
energize your work and find new avenues of creativity, you could not invest
your money better than by participating in this workshop. Please note that
the workshop will take place Monday through Friday for three weeks, with
full studio access including weekends.
Here's the information as it is given on our website at
