    In this 2-day workshop, participants will be working with ceramic artist, Andrew Clark, on creating uniquely thrown and assembled objects. Participants will learn about various techniques including making and using bisque stamps, creating small sprig molds, throwing pieces for assembly, and more.

    In addition, Andrew will cover surface decoration / finishing techniques that include using terra sigillata, underglaze, and glaze. We ask that participants are comfortable throwing basic forms, as the subject matter for this workshop requires precise throwing capabilities.

    DAY 1 - Saturday, October 1
    10am to 5pm


    Day 1 will focus on throwing, altering, and building multi-part pieces. Andrew will demonstrate how he uses wood and bisque stamps to alter his thrown forms. Participants will be creating blank forms, throwing mugs & cups, and begin thinking about assembly & construction for Day 2.


    DAY 2 - Sunday, October 2
    10am to 5pm

    Day 2 will focus on expanding what was covered in Day 1, including creating 3 to 4 part kinetic objects using throwing and hand-building techniques. Andrew will demonstrate how he creates his signature match strikers, wine goblets, and more. Participants will have an opportunity to make these themselves with Andrew’s guidance. The second half of the day will consist of putting all the made parts together and finish decorating pieces.

  • A 25 pound bag of mid-range clay will be provided for participants to use, (Speckled Buff or LB-6)? Bisque and glaze firing will be provided with an additional fee of $45. Participants are more than welcome to bring the pieces they made

About the Artist:
Andrew Clark

I am currently exploring work that comes from an interest in machinery and engineering. Influenced by schematic cutaway drawings and simple mechanical devices I aim to make functional pottery that features a mechanized process. Terra sigillata and underglaze allows me to put moving parts into my work. Bright contrasting colors separate the layers I create which is similar to schematic drawings separating each part of the machine through color. Through the process of problem solving I seek to find a combination of a simple functional vessel and a complex machine.
