This is the second summer Peter King has offered this workshop in WA

workshops.) Peter is considered to be a leader in studio architectural
ceramics and one of the first to develop this field. His new book,

Join Peter and his wife Xinia Marin for this two day workshop. The
workshop is PACKED FULL of Peter=92s large scale construction techniques,
discussion, new slide show, and info that will catapult your thinking,
confidence and work to a new level. We will build a large scale
architectural piece to demo Peter's unique construction methods.
Peter's handbuilding techniques can be applied to any size work.

Hi all from Nottingham in So. California.
Peter has been here for just two days and it feels like a weeks worth of
information.
This guy is a powerhouse !!
We are building a large fireplace surround/sculpture for a local commision
and an eight foot high doorway arch for the main studio. Already made and
gone through 1000 lbs. of clay and have Ardvark sending Steve down with 1000
lbs of dry clay tonight to keep us going until the regular truck arrives on
thursday.
I figure we will start another huge free standing gate along with lots of
smaller stuff. Probably go through another ton and a half of clay before the
week is out.
It's to late to come to Nottingham for the workshop but you've got time to
sign up for the Washington two day one. Believe me; you will think it was 4
days if you go and I heartily recomend it. You won't be disapointed.
