Want to get acquainted with clay? Looking to get your creative vibes on?  Interested in hanging out with a group of awesome people and making some cool pots? Join us for Community Open Studio! Work on the wheel or try out a hand-build project.  An OBHP instructor will be available to answer questions and help you along the way.  Up to two pieces per participant can be kept.  Instructor will finish, glaze, and fire participant's work.  Work will be available for pick up 2-3 weeks post-event. ***Disclaimer: Pottery is a wild and wondrous process! Sometimes pots don't work out, and that is ok! Even if you don't retain a product, you'll walk away with an awesome experience.  

 Community Open Studio

This two-day intensive workshop guides intermediate ceramic artists through the process of creating
composite wheel-thrown forms using sound techniques and refining them using torching, trimming, and
structured geometric surface mapping techniques. Students will develop precision, control, and
conceptual planning skills while producing advanced multi-part vessels ready for later firing. FRIDAY EVENING PRESENTATION + 2 FULL DAYS WORKSHOP 11-5PM

This hands-on, process-oriented class is for people interested in making large-scale work on the potter’s wheel. In addition to healthy hand and body postures for moving clay, we will cover making pots in sections and the coil and paddle method. Our focus will be on using the best techniques for students’ design ideas. There will be both group demonstrations and individual instruction. Basic pottery skills are required, but our technique allows building work without undue strain on the body - strength is not a requirement! The workshop is conducive to conversation and discussion of pottery and is highly community-oriented. 4 FULL DAY WORKSHOP 10-5PM

Throwing with Intention:

A Workshop with Danny Meisinger

This hands-on, immersive workshop will enable participants to create work with intention by training the potter's eye to see and understand form, which, in turn, supports both function and aesthetic.  The workshop will include throwing, glazing, and conducting a single-fire Cone 10 Reduction process.  Work will be ready to bring home at the conclusion of the six days. 6 FULL DAY WORKSHOP 10-5PM.
