Learn to Make Slab Built Pots with Pink! Elaine Pinkernell's Beginning Slab Workshop
  |
Learn to make slab built pots with Pink!
1 pm - 6 pm.
Cost: $65 BHC
All others $70
A hands on workshop by Elaine Pinkernell using tar paper to make slab built mugs, vases, planters, or whatever you want help making. She will also demonstrate how to glaze your textured pieces in the way she creates her product line.
If you've made pots with slabs before learning to use tar paper makes it SOOO much easier! If you have no previous hand building experience don't worry! We will go over basic pieces at the beginning of class so that you will be able to make mugs, vases, and bowls that day. Many students made a half dozen pots in one day at the last workshop! This is easy and fun!
Things to bring:
- A sack lunch.
- Any tools you already have for wheel work.
- Texturing tools, such as a piece of driftwood, rocks, buttons, forks, screwdrivers, etc. Start looking at everything in terms of what it would look like to push it into some clay! BHC does have some tools which we can all share, so don't worry if you show up with no texturing tools.
- A bag of clay. Any clay will work for this but you may want to buy more at the workshop after you learn about the different types available.
