Beginners and returners welcome!
In this fun handbuilding and surface design workshop, we'll practice handbuilding a colorful Irish Coffee Mug. We'll combine texture with stencils and colorful underglazes, then use darting to give the mugs a unique shape.
In the morning, we'll texture and decorate our slabs. Then in the afternoon, we'll create our pieces. Steve will walk you through every step, but there will be plenty of opportunities to get creative. At the end of the workshop, you'll have two mugs and the skills and inspiration to continue making more.
One of the joys of childhood was playing in the mud. My friends and I made such master pieces, I am surprised they are not in a museum somewhere. In elementary school I had a wonderful art teacher who introduced me to clay. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. High School was the art studio. Lane Stanley was the best teacher I ever had. In my senior year, she invited me to show my work in her gallery. It was the first time (other than family) where I sold something. That piece for sure is in a museum. From there, having my hands in clay has been a life-long interest.
My passion for working in clay took off while I was a Studio Member of the South County Art Association. The opportunity to work and teach in a creative, supportive environment, surrounded by artists for me is the ideal.
I received my B.F.A. from Rhode Island College, and continued my study of sculpture in Italy at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. As a member of the South County Art Association in RI and now at City Clay, in Charlottesville, VA, I continue to explore the many forms and function of clay. Through teaching, I hope to share and ignite the same passion and excitement in my students that I have for the ceramic form.
