KINSHIP AND VARIATION: POTS AS CONTAINERS with Sanam Emami

Event Description

In this one week workshop we will explore the relationship between hand, material, and function, creating pots as containers for home and the table. Philip Rawson describes pottery forms as evolving like organisms. This idea of pots as an organic lineage will be the starting point for making a range of pottery forms: cups, bowls, larger serving vessels, jars, and vases. Pots are intimate and physical. They live with us, adorning our shelves and kitchen cabinets. Pots hold our favorite foods and the history of our cultures. Come to the workshop with ideas for forms and colors to explore. We will use the potters wheel, buff and dark mid-range clays, and colored slips and underglazes to transform our drawings and sketches into three dimensional clay forms.
