In this workshop Adam Field will demonstrate his methods for throwing, trimming, assembling, and carving intricate patterns on a variety of wheel-thrown porcelain forms with lids. From traditional techniques, to innovative solutions for timeless problems, participants will develop a new perspective on creating and decorating functional lidded pots. Jars demonstrated will range in size from small covered jars that could fit in the palm of your hand to large sectional constructed storage jars. Participants will learn new skills for mapping out and carving their own geometric patterns. Generous discussions about studio practice, aesthetics, materials, ceramic history, and promotion and marketing strategies for the studio potter are certain to encourage individual discovery, growth, and development of fresh ideas. Participants will gain the skills and confidence to create and decorate work in their own voice.
