Bring an element of playfulness into your ceramics practice with this workshop. Teaching artist Rebecca Chappell will demonstrate fun and imaginative ways to create classic forms like candlesticks, baskets, and wall tiles. By merging hand building with wheel throwing, participants will learn how to combine these two techniques in innovative ways. This workshop is one that embraces mistakes as a powerful tool for learning and encourages play to search for ideas.
