About the event
Using Vermont’s woodland forest found objects for inspiration, we’ll dive into texture
and organic patterns found in the natural world. Subtle yet complex, simple yet
nuanced, the natural world provides an infinite source of inspiration.
Participants will have a choice of black, brown, or speckled stoneware clay bodies,
learning the fundamental ceramic handbuilding methods: pinch pot, coil, slab building,
scoring/slipping attachments, as well as the considerations of feet, handles, and overall
aesthetics of a piece. We will work on a set of 2 mugs within class time, that will be fully
functional food-safe pieces once fired.
Natural materials will be provided, but participants are encouraged to forage some to
bring as well. Participants will select from 3 glaze options, and pick up their finished
fired pieces 3 weeks later.
About your instructor:
Heidi handmakes functional stoneware pottery made on the wheel out of her homestudio in
Randolph, VT. She loves earthy, marbled raw clay surfaces and natural rustic glaze colors
inspired by her upbringing and life in rural Vermont. All pottery is microwave & dishwasher
safe. Tag/Find me on instagram @heidilouisepottery or heidilouisepottery.com Thank you!
