Wheel Thrown Moon Jar Workshop with Steve Palmer

$165.00

Overview

  • Saturday, 12/6, 9am-4pm

  • Ages 16 and up are welcome

  • Cost: $150 + $15 materials (all materials are included)

  • Students must be comfortable centering clay & throwing a cylinder on the wheel

In this one-day workshop, students will learn how to create a Moon Jar from start to finish. We'll begin the morning by throwing the main form and creating a fitted lid. In the afternoon, we’ll focus on altering and refining the form to give it character and personal style, then complete any final construction. We will also make an animal sculpture to decorate the lid, depending on how we use our time.

By the end of the day, you’ll have a finished piece and a deeper understanding of the Moon Jar form—plus the skills and inspiration to continue exploring it in your own studio practice.

About the Instructor

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.
