ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Achieving large scale is not so much a matter of physical strength. More important are the selection and preparation of clay, technique to protect your body, and patient strategy. This hour-long tutorial course dives into all those things, and more.

The Concept

The Goal

To equip intermediate and advanced potters with the foundational tools required to transcend the limitations of traditional throwing techniques.

The Outcome

Mastery of sectional construction, allowing for the creation of vessels of practically any size, with minimal physical strain.

Curriculum

  • Pillar I — Foundation & materials: selecting and conditioning clay bodies for structural integrity at scale.

  • Pillar II — The mechanics of the wheel: ergonomics and body positioning to ensure physical longevity and control.

  • Pillar III — Incremental construction: advanced techniques for stacking sections and managing moisture (fans and torches).

  • Pillar IV — Refinement & aesthetics: structural joins, troubleshooting saves, and finalizing the silhouette.

Logistics
