Mary Barringer is conducting a clay workshop for Shakerag Workshops, in
Sewanee, TN, entitled "Building a Surface," in which she will teach
participants how to develop a rich and complex texture to enhance their
hand-built forms. Complete information about the workshop can be seen at
the Shakerag Workshops website -- www.shakerag.org. The workshop will be
held from June 13-18, 2004, and is open to participants of all levels of
experience. Tuition for the week-long workshop is $375; room and board is
$300. Barringer writes about her class:
"This workshop will address a common dilemma: how to bring the ideas
and energy of making pots into the fired surface and in particular, how to
obtain rich, lively surfaces in the electric kiln. Using texture, layered
slips, and subtractive processes, we will explore individual strategies for
the form/surface relationship and draw ideas from historical examples and
collaborative exercises."
Mary Barringer has been a studio artist since 1973, making both functional
pottery and sculpture. Her work has been exhibited internationally, and she
has taught in many universities and art centers, including Penland and
Haystack. In addition to her studio work, Barringer is Associate Editor of
Studio Potter Magazine. She lives and works in western Massachusetts.
For more information about the workshop, and to register for it, please

program, at 931-968-0210 ext 3165.
