The Character of a Pot

What are the elements that contribute to the character of a pot? How do you develop them to make them your own? This workshop is for developing your pottery as an expressive art form. The class will include instruction of different ways of making pots, using throwing and altering techniques. Ideas and information for surface treatments and firing techniques will be discussed and shared. Presentations of the artist’s work and contemporary ceramics will complement this hands-on experience.

This workshop is open to all with basic beginning throwing skills.

Workshop fee: $1300

Let’s Talk – A Conversation Between Form and Imagery

Spend a week diving into image, surface, and storytelling in clay. This hands-on workshop is all about building your own visual language and bringing it to life on hand-built forms—whether functional, sculptural, or somewhere in between.

Using techniques like press molds, coils, and slabs as your starting point, you’ll explore ways to layer imagery and meaning onto your work. With humor as a guiding tool, King encourages unexpected approaches to function and narrative. Try your hand at sgraffito, decals, Photo EZ silk-screening, and resist printing, and discover glaze techniques that make your surfaces pop.
