Dishin': Narrative Surface Decoration
with George Bowes
July 12 - 16, 1999

Workshop Description:
Using red earthenware clay, we will throw and handbuild simple
utilitarian forms. With colored slips and underglaze, we will embellish
our surfaces with stories from daily life - from the mundane to the
sensational. Work will be once fired to cone 03. In discussing the
finished objects, we will examine the role of table manners in the new
millennium.
