Non-Member Price: $425.00

Member Price: $361.25

DATE: October 25th & 26th

TIMES: 9am - 5pm (both days)

Location: Ceramics Studio at Jane’s Art Center

Let’s explore some hand building basics! This workshop will cover the hand building skills of soft slab and coil building. We will use basic templates together to explore the new forms. I will use some basic shapes as a jumping off point (vases/dishes) to help develop some skill building during our time together. These forms will allow us to practice these new skills a number of times.  Demos on trimming or building feet and coil building will allow us to play and explore with developing texture and form. A fun filled couple of days making some new objects and practicing and developing some new skills that you will get to take home and use in your own practice!

Sunshine’s work is very much based in the tradition of historic functional ceramics. But she is a completely modern potter with contemporary themes in her work. She will talk about inspiration and how abstract concepts make their way into her work. And how to foster similar insertion into your own creative practice.

Sunshine’s demonstration will motivate you to experiment with new and old forms and methods of construction. Her workshop is geared toward creative expansion, a process-over-product mentality beginners to advanced students will be inspired by.
