Workshop: Good Lids for Hand-Built Pots, Plus…

Instructor:  Gail Kendall

Date:  October 6, 2018
9:00 AM – 5:30 PM

In this one day demo workshop Gail will concentrate on demonstrating three kinds of lids that she uses on a variety of utilitarian forms. She will also demonstrate the upside-down slab and coil plates and platters she have been making since the early 2000’s.

Gail will give two brief image lectures: one a short version about the ideas and experiences that have enriched her 50 years in working with clay.  The second is a talk called “Pot Pointers”. She will show 11 Chinese pots while naming a handful of strategies one can self-assign in order to explore some new directions in the studio.

A hand-out will be provided with the slip and glaze formulas Gail uses on her work.

The workshop will be held in the ceramics studio at:
The Calder Art Center
Grand Valley State University
Allendale, MI
