Throwing & Carving Composite Forms
Learn how to throw, carve, and pierce larger multi-part forms and develop confidence troubleshooting challenges you may encounter when working with substantial volumes of clay.
Visiting Artist Justin Paik Reese will demo and discuss how he creates detailed surface and dimensional designs both on paper and as he works on the wheel. Justin will guide students through the steps involved in imagining and then developing patterns for large thrown forms, and will show how he maps out geometry and repetition to create cohesive designs.
This workshop will use Laguna B-Mix cone 10. A tool list will be provided, and Justin will share best practices and show his favorite tools for carving and perforating stable, large hollow forms.
Experience Level: You’ll get the most out of the workshop if your wheel skills are technically sound.
While Justin will adapt his teaching throughout the weekend to support every participant, please note that the pace and scope of the workshop curriculum cannot accommodate instruction on basic wheel skills such as centering, pulling, and shaping walls.
