This workshop is about pushing your wheel work beyond its comfortable limits and learning to see the form as something that can continue to evolve.
Dwayne will focus on the techniques and structural thinking behind faceting, altering, and refining thrown forms, with particular attention to creating intentional movement, proportion, and surface. Through demonstrations and hands-on practice, we’ll explore how subtle changes to a thrown form can completely transform its character.
Working in porcelain, we’ll look closely at the relationship between form and material, learning how to make deliberate alterations while maintaining control of the clay. Dwayne will share his approach to creating faceted and altered tea bowls, while encouraging participants to experiment and develop their own visual language.
Whether you’re interested in making tea bowls, exploring faceting for the first time, or looking for new ways to transform your wheel-thrown forms, this workshop is an opportunity to slow down, experiment, and learn directly from an accomplished working potter.
This is a hands-on workshop for intermediate and advanced wheel throwers.
To create a more personal, focused experience with plenty of opportunity for questions, feedback, and one-on-one instruction, this workshop will be capped at just 16 participants.
