This workshop will be structured for the potter with basic throwing skills, who would like to make relaxed forms that feel both well designed and more gestural. You won’t be encouraged to unlearn any of your hard-won technique, but rather to expand the ways of gently altering thrown forms. We'll start with drinking vessels and move on to bowls, pitchers, and/or vases. Plan to bring along all your own throwing tools.
Steven Hill has been a professional studio potter since 1974 and is one of the most recognized names in pottery today. Founder of Red Star Pottery in Kansas City, Steven is now working just outside of Kansas City at 323 Clay Studio in Independence, MO. Steven began as a reduction fired clay artist. The Tuscan countryside has profoundly influenced Steven’s pottery. "It was the colors and textures of Tuscany that spoke to me. The weatherworn painted wood and stucco surfaces, which highlight architectural form by stripping away surface embellishment, have found their way into my pottery.” His pottery features textured matte glazes, with contrasting colors on rims, handles, and feet to accentuate form.
Snacks and drinks are included. Don’t miss this fun and informative hands-on workshop.
