The Coil Built Vessel:
With Mitch Iburg & Zoë Powell
Please join us for artists Zoë Powell and Mitch Iburg of Studio Alluvium for a 2 day workshop. Students will spend the weekend exploring new techniques in hand building through coiling and combining multiple clay bodies. During these two days we will be using altering techniques to aid efficiency and the durability of the building process while using coiling as a tool for expression. The first day students will be introduced to clays, stones, and grogs, as well as proper "foot wedging" techniques. The second day Zoë and Mitch will help foster attendees projects to direct them toward their own artistic expression.
