THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO THROW CLAY
Phil Jenkins
Course Description
In this workshop students will focus on hands on wheel throwing techniques. Demonstrations will include throwing, altering, darting, slip-decorating, simplifying the complex, and improving throwing skills. Students will then be encouraged to try new methods of altering thrown forms, the utilizing and joining of wheel thrown parts; combining elements to create personal expression that completes a detailed yet functional piece. (Some throwing experience necessary)
