10:00 AM – 5:00 PMDuring the workshop, students will receive instruction in clay preparation, centering, throwing various forms, and trimming. Each morning begins with a thorough introduction to the techniques Eric uses to get the most out of the clay, with a focus on efficiency and precision at the wheel.
This is a hands-on workshop, and participants will spend time practicing these techniques under Eric’s guidance and supervision. Throughout the two days, Eric will also provide multiple demonstrations and share insights from his approach to working on the wheel.
At the end of the workshop, students may decide if they would like to keep any of the pieces they created. There is a flat $75 fee to process your work, which includes access to the studio to finish trimming, bisque firing, glazing (with access to our selection of 50 cone-10 glazes), and glaze firing.
