Colorful Coffee Mugs with Steve Palmer
Overview
Saturday, May 10th, 9am-4pm
Ages 16 and up are welcome
Cost: $150 + $15 materials (all materials are included)
Beginners and returners welcome!
In this workshop the student will learn a new technique for hand building a mug. They will expand their knowledge of different ways of finishing the surface of the piece by using texture rollers, layering of underglazes, and stenciling to create a dynamic surface design. We will discuss size and proportion in the class to ensure that their pieces work as a whole unit. At the end of the workshop, the student will have a finished piece (or two) and the skills and inspiration to continue making more art.
This workshop is designed for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of the basic techniques of creating a hand-built piece. Beginner and returning students are both welcomed.
What students are saying about this class:
"[Steve's] workshop was really fun and packed full of information. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys clay!" -Karis
About the Instructor:
One of the joys of childhood was playing in the mud. My friends and I made such master pieces, I am surprised they are not in a museum somewhere. In elementary school I had a wonderful art teacher who introduced me to clay. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. High School was the art studio. Lane Stanley was the best teacher I ever had. In my senior year, she invited me to show my work in her gallery. It was the first time (other than family) where I sold something. That piece for sure is in a museum. From there, having my hands in clay has been a life-long interest.
My passion for working in clay took off while I was a Studio Member of the South County Art Association. The opportunity to work and teach in a creative, supportive environment, surrounded by artists for me is the ideal.
I received my B.F.A. from Rhode Island College, and continued my study of sculpture in Italy at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. As a member of the South County Art Association in RI and now at City Clay, in Charlottesville, VA, I continue to explore the many forms and function of clay. Through teaching, I hope to share and ignite the same passion and excitement in my students that I have for the ceramic form.
