Flower Holder Workshop (online)

Course Description

I’m thrilled to begin offering online workshops from my studio. It’s been a long time coming and we’re starting with a doozie! These flower holders are a design I came up with (30 years ago) out of the desire for a low-profile, dinner table vase. When I brought this and other dart-cut pots into my classroom this Spring, everyone wanted to make these. So, in addition to doing it in the classroom and as a 2-day workshop this Summer, I’m offering it out to the larger world as a “demo-style” 2-hour webinar. Join me and watch the making of one of these pots from start-to-finish in 2 hours. Of course it will have taken me about 8 hours to prep in order to do this in 2 hours so please don’t try to work alongside the demo. Bring only your full attention and ask me questions! You’ll have the recorded video for 30 days after the workshop to slow it down and work along with the steps of the project. Skills covered: slab rolling and building, dart-cutting, hollow handles, surface decoration. As always, my hearts desire is to teach you techniques through these cultivated projects so that you can use the basic skills taught and go off adventuring with Creativity wherever it takes you. Fee of $55 includes live webinar and 30 days of viewing. We’ll have our work cut out for ourselves to complete this pot in 2 days which is why I’d like participants to have some clay experience such as knowing how to roll a good slab. You don’t need to know how to cut darts: that’s the primary skill being taught. We’ll construct the pot on day 1 w/out the inserted flower tubes. Sunday morning we’ll decorate the pot with slip and underglaze. Sunday afternoon we’ll insert the tubes and add color to them as desired. All pots will be bisqued on the premises and glazed by Lisa. Once they’ve been through the 2nd firing, Lisa will contact the group for pick-up or ship vases to those who traveled a distance (shipping fees will be applied).
