During his weekend with us, Val will demonstrate and discuss the process
of working with clay, and learning to develop a methodology about how to
generate ideas, find self-direction and bringing a personal voice into
your own work. Focus will be on using the potter's wheel as a tool and
vehicle for expression. Val will also discuss while demonstrating how
his own artwork has evolved over the years through his individual
interpretations of nature and his continued exploration and awareness of
the world around him." =3D20

bring a sketch book, bag lunch and a couple examples of finished work

Wet clay offers almost limitless opportunities for the creation of form
and the development of surface texture. Pottery-making allows us the
opportunity to funnel these creative possibilities into a format that
engages the viewer and enlivens our lives and homes. During this
workshop, we will explore these possibilities and experiment with a
variety of tools and techniques, both on and off the wheel.
=3D20
The format of the workshop will repeatedly shift from demo and
discussion to hand-on participation and back again. This will provide
the participants with the opportunity to see a demonstration and then
immediately put the information to use. The focus will be on the
throwing, altering and surfacing of wet and leather-hard clay objects.
=3D20
In addition to the demonstrations, there will be a variety of lectures
and discussions on design and design theory, color theory, and the use
of layering to create complex and interesting surfaces. We will also
look at images of a range of historic pots (and other objects) to
provide insight on ceramic history and how ideas migrate and evolve over
time.
=3D20
Students will not create any finished work in the workshop, but instead
will leave with a lot of sketches, damp pots, notes, photos, handouts,
and enough ideas to keep them thinking for a long time.=3D20

*Workshop participants should plan to participate in group discussions,
bring a sketch book and a bag lunch.
