Ceramics Intensive: Form from Function
with Anne Hirondelle

Registration deadline: June 1

Spend a week working closely with one of the nation's most respected
ceramic artists. This workshop will explore the functional origins and
the sculptural potential of the vessel, approaching it as an abstract,
archetypal form. Students will develop a core shape through handbuilding
or the wheel. From this shape they will create a series of related
forms, borrowing elements from traditional pottery and expanding them
into sculptural ideas. Instruction will include demonstrations, slide
presentations, and personal notebooks. Stoneware clay; bisque fire only.
This opportunity is for experienced potters, ceramic artists and
handbuilders, as well as artists in different media with limited ceramic
experience, but who are fluent in visual language and concepts.
Housing in Centrum's artist cabins is provided at no additional fee at
Fort Worden State Park for out of town participants.
Fort Worden State Park is located in the Victorian Seaport & Arts
Community of Port Townsend, WA. Perched on the northeast tip of the
Olympic Peninsula, the 450 acre park has sweeping views of the Olympic
and Cascade mountain ranges, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
