Pouring and Lidded Forms Exposed
with Bradley Birkhimer at the Lee Arts Center in Arlington, VA
Saturday, June 11, 2011 & Sunday, June 12, 2011 | 10:00am - 5:00 pm
Fee: $165.00
Join us for an informative hands-on workshop which will concentrate on the
fundamentals of wheel-thrown pouring vessels and lidded forms. Emphasis will
be on fusing form and function as Brad demonstrates round, square and oval
forms using basic hand building techniques with slump molds and templates.
Forms will find new shapes through alteration and manipulation. Participants will
study pitchers, teapots, casseroles, storage jars and pagoda forms. Through
demonstration, class discussion, slides and individual instruction participants will
learn to improve the subtle, yet necessary aspects of their work. Intermediate to
advanced ceramic experience is required for this class.
Workshop fee will include 25 lbs of clay and a bisque fire for work produced in
the workshop. Brad will be doing a separate soda firing at his studio in The
Plains, Virginia and interested participants can contact him for more information
on dates and costs.
I will be a teachers assistant with my friend and potter Tom White this August at Penland in North Carolina. Looking forward to a week of making mad pottery!
