Colorful Handbuilt Bowl Workshop with Ros

$65.00

Overview

  • Friday, November 20th, 6-8pm

  • Ages 16 and up are welcome

  • Cost: $55 + $10 materials (all materials are included)

  • Beginners and returners welcome!

Make a set of unique handbuilt bowls with Ros, no pottery wheel needed! In this low-pressure class, each bowl will be hand-formed using molds, rolling pins, and other simple tools. We'll add unique textures to the bottom, which will be left unglazed so you can see the beautiful red clay. For the inside, you'll have your choice of three beautiful colors.

Bowls will be fired and glazed by our team, and ready to pick up within 3-4 weeks.

About the Instructor:

Ros O’Brien is an artist and studio potter who makes nature-inspired pottery from her home studio in Harrisonburg, VA. She works primarily with textured soft slabs, although her work sometimes incorporates thrown, pinched, or coiled components. Ros is endlessly curious, and has studied a diverse range of ceramic techniques with artists and potters around the globe, including Gail Kendall, Lauren Karle, Bill Griffith, and Ellen Shankin, and she was in the 2020 cohort of Naomi Clement’s Finding Your Voice Mentorship Program. Ros loves teaching, from beginner to advanced handbuilding. She loves to see people come together and learn about each other and themselves through clay, and enjoys the creative and unique ways her students come up with to use classic techniques. She is an instructor at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and the owner of Friendly City Clay & Art Center in Harrisonburg, VA, where she teaches handbuilding.
