This workshop will focus on taking wheel-thrown, symmetrical forms and manipulating them at the leather-hard stage to create unique, asymmetrical, or sculptural functional pieces. It bridges the gap between traditional wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques.  

On this one-day workshop you will explore pottery beyond traditional round shapes, encouraging the development of artistic, individual styles by altering thrown cylinders, bowls, and pots. It combines the skill of wheel throwing with the creativity of hand-building to produce unique forms.  

We will cover various altering techniques including, darting, paddling & pressing, cutting & reassembling, leather-hard manipulation and finishing & decoration.
