Chandra DeBuse
will demonstrate how she designs unique and personal pottery forms using
simple and inexpensive materials, such as plywood and craft foam. In
addition to handbuilding, Chandra will share techniques used to alter
wheel-thrown work and to create multiple parts for building narrative
pots.

Chandra will share her surface decoration techniques, which include
sprigging, stamping, freehand drawing, underglaze inlay, sgraffito, and
the use of wax resist to create a layered and colorful surface.
Kathy King will
demostrate how to center on building a personal vocabulary of imagery
while considering methods of composition of that imagery onto the
wheel-thrown and hand built ceramic form. With humor as a tool to
create narratives within her work, King will introduce some
non-traditional ideas about function and methods of storytelling. She
will carve through slip-colored clay (sgraffito) and will showcase other
methods on leather-hard clay with transfer techniques such as decals,
silk-screening, resist printing from a photocopy and block-printing
images onto clay. In addition, glaze techniques that will enhance
surface work will be demonstrated.

Gulf Coast State College Amelia Center Gallery is hosting a juried exhibition that explores the idea of the drinking vessel.
The
exhibition will focus on the function and concept of the drinking

utility, and narrative. The goal is to offer a survey of the wide array
of approaches to contemporary ceramics through the lens of the most
intimate and accessible vessel, the cup.

Jason Bige Burnett brings
a little technical innovation in a very DIY way – he shows approachable
screen and slip transfer techniques that will have you layering images
in no time!
Kirsten Stingle’s
approach to the figure is both anatomical and philosophical. She will
teach you how to use proper human proportion but also how expression can
create narrative and emotion in figurative work. Plus her techniques
for heads and hands are amazing!!!
Kathy King
is a witty and informative instructor who will demonstrate how to
create story, narrative, and humor while also showing techniques to get
your work to the next level – literally – she’ll be focusing on stacking
work and using components to build – Students can hand-build or throw
for this class.
And Finally Katharine Morling wraps
up our workshop season. She’ll be visiting from England – bringing her
truly delightful technique of working from sketches into slabs. She’ll
be working with you in porcelain and she makes some absolutely
incredible work.
