The Seasoned Surface

a workshop led by Kyle Carpenter & Michael Kline

Summer 2022 • Fifth Session • July 17 - 29

During this course, students will explore a full palette of surface designs and how it relates to functional pottery form. We will be stamping, painting, scratching, and scraping stoneware pots, bringing layer upon layer of visual interest to the surface. We will be experimenting with flashing slips, underglaze, and glaze, that will be enhanced in cone 10 soda and salt firings.

A confluence of fresh ideas and technical skills will open a path forward for each student’s creative exploration. The instructors will engage the class in conversation regarding their individual perspectives of studio potter life and practices.
