During this hands-on workshop, Scott will demonstrate how he uses clay slabs to create his unique hand-built forms. He will show how to create the patterns that he uses to make each piece, how he uses texture to make interesting surfaces, and how he assembles and creates volume in ceramic forms without using the wheel. Scott will also demonstrate how he makes wire handles for teapots.

Scott studied ceramics at California State University Fullerton, earning a B.F.A. in ceramics in 1996. He currently teaches at Ruby’s Clay Studio, Palo Alto Art Center, Higher Fire Studios, and at Clay By The Bay. His work in the ceramics industry includes working as the Dinnerware Production Manager for Heath Ceramics.
