Two of the types of workshops and demos I do are pottery related. I love doing club pottery making workshops where the members all receive some pottery making instructions and then they 'dive in' and make their own pots. I return home with their pots for drying and refinement and firing and then return their finished pots to the club. Everyone always seems to have a good time and I am always amazed at the quality of some pots produced in these workshops, especially considering the limitations in what the members can get accomplished in that type of setting.
The second type of program I do is to build a slab pot the same as a finished one I bring for the club to auction off to the demo's attending members.
Last January 2007 I did a workshop and demo at the Rochester, NY club and brought this pot as the pot they would auction off.
I then built the same style/size pot using the same methods. I return home with the finished pot and dry and glaze it at a later time.
