About the Workshop

Bernard Leach, British philosopher and potter, often described pottery or pots as the “majesty of volume”.

I often have tried to apply this maxim to my own pottery, in doing so I believe this pursuit of showing volume in a piece of pottery is endless.

This pursuit has often inspired me to make the next piece.

Please take this journey with me to explore wheel thrown forms, functional or sculptural. How do these pieces relate to gravity and exist in space?

In this class we will work in a series of shapes of ones own choosing to refine skills and explore our visual vocabulary.
