Workshop Description:

In this Hands On Workshop, Lora will throw a variety of forms – altering, assembling and decorating the pieces using her signature technique and creating patterns on the clay surface using her personally designed tools. She will explore ideas about design, pattern and composition, discussing the relationship of surface texture to the form. She will demonstrate a variety of glazing and finishing techniques to maximize surface texture.

Although Lora’s base forms will be thrown on the wheel, hand-builders are welcome and can enjoy learning the texturing process.

Using Lora's signature tools, student will learn and practice her technique on sample tiles and their own leather-hard thrown or hand-built pieces. Specialty tool kits will be available for purchase.
