Upcoming Workshop with Hunter Stamps
"Altering thrown forms into abstraction"
The two-day workshop will center upon construction techniques unitized to create large abstract figurative sculptures and vessels. Techniques will include assembling forms from altered wheel thrown fragments, solid constructions and hollow core building methods. Alternative surfacing techniques such as encaustics and rubber along with low-fire glazes will also be covered. Slide lectures and open discussions will cover the artist’s works as well as contemporary ceramic artists and practices.
