Handbuild a Lidded Jar with Steve Palmer
Overview
Sunday, 7/20, 9am–4pm
Ages 16 and up are welcome
Cost: $150 + $15 materials (all materials are included)
Experienced Beginners and returners welcome!
In this workshop students will learn about hand building a lidded jar. You will expand your knowledge of different ways of finishing the surface of a piece by using stencils and layering underglaze colors on the clay to create a dynamic surface design. At the end of the workshop, you'll have a finished piece and the skills and hopefully the inspiration to continue making more art.
This workshop is designed for anyone with a working knowledge of the basic techniques of creating a slab-built piece.
We will make the piece in the studio, and then you can choose to take yours and finish it at home or have us glaze and fire it for you.
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.
