Upcoming Weekend Workshop with Nan Rothwell

"Hands-on Throwing Workshop"

Saturday & Sunday – August 11 - 12, 2012

On August 11th and 12th, Castroville Pottery will be hosting an intensive, hands-on throwing workshop led by Nan Rothwell. Each person will have their own wheel and 1 bat will be provided. No work will be fired but we will have racks for you to place any items you make and wish to take home. We encourage you to bring your own bats. Our wheels are 12 inches in diameter and have a 10 inch spread between bat holes.

Nan Rothwell worked in the AMACO/Brent booth at NCECA in Seattle this year. Nan started working in clay at 19 while visiting friends in England. While there she attended the Harrow Studio Pottery Course, a full-time intensive training course near London. When she wasn't studying she worked in potteries in England and Ireland. Since returning to the US in 1972, she has worked as a studio potter in Virginia. Nan teaches classes and workshops in her own studio, plus at a variety of other venues including nearby colleges, at pottery conferences, and at the John C. Campbell Folk School. You can view her complete biography on her website; and be sure to check out Nan’s videos

Castroville Pottery is located in the heart of Castroville’s historic district at 1215 Fiorella Street on the corner of Fiorella and Paris streets. These historic buildings and barn have been converted into a complete potter’s studio and artist gallery. The gallery is open from 10:00am to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday, and from 11:00am to 5:00pm on Saturday and Sunday.

The gallery features one of a kind handmade pottery, majolica, raku, stoneware, soaps and jewelry. All are of exceptional quality made by artisans from across south Texas. Our products include 4 exceptional dinner ware lines that are made to order 1 piece at a time on the wheel. Then they are glazed with glazes made in our studio.

A lovely brick patio surrounds the gallery where art exhibits are held featuring student work and guest artists such as Dale Neese, John Nelson, Tim Kelley, Brad Lum, Denise Martin, Bertie Smith, Charles Haile, JoAnna Admundson and noted stone sculptor Rachman Ullmer.
