Through demonstrations, slides and discussion, you'll learn more about
functional pottery--not just the technical aspects of creating a vessel,
but how to incorporate mood and a sense of ritual.
Granatelli Pottery focuses on pottery that enhances food presentation.
Sylvie primarily works with porcelain clay, which is wheel thrown and
then altered into forms that are irregular--sometime organic in shape,
sometimes geometric in shape. They are treated with various surface
decorations such as slip trailing, incising and colored stain
applications. Her work is fired in a gas kiln to cone 10.
Sylvie has a BFA and MFA and has presented at universities and art
centers including Penland School of Arts and Arrowmont. Her studio is
located in Floyd, VA and open by appointment only.
Crane pottery is intended for use in the kitchen and on the table.
David works with stoneware forms such as bowls, vases and lidded pots.
Surfaces are treated with slips, stains and glazes...then fired in high
temp salt kilns.
David is Chairman and Associate Professor of the Department of Art and
Art History at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VPI
&SU). He has exhibited widely and has won significant awards as a
potter since his undergraduated days in Flagstaff, Arizona.
