In this hand-building workshop, Sylvia will teach you an array of construction techniques with the goal of combining them to create fabulous abstract forms.

Sylvia also sometimes explores multi-media to decorate her works and dabbles outside the world of traditional glazing, using paints and other materials to achieve her desired surface finish. If you're looking to learn something new, you will benefit from Sylvia's non-traditional and interdisciplinary approach to pottery.

We like to share a lunch on our workshop days, if you have the capacity, please bring a kai to share :)

Included in the fee:
Clay is included in the cost of this workshop, but firing and glazing of any pieces made in the workshop are not included.
