Thrown and Altered Forms with Mark Peters
August 6-8, 2004
This two day demonstration workshop will focus on throwing, altering, and
assembling a wide range of functional pottery forms. Participants will learn
to combine throwing and handbuilding techniques to make oval, square and
rectangular pots. Some of the forms demonstrated will include plates,
platters, pitchers, bowls, lidded jars and teapots. The workshop emphasizes
a fresh and spontaneous approach to form and surface.
In addition to the demonstration, participants will learn about wood firing
and discuss what makes a good wood-fired pot.
