CONCEPT
Refine and expand your
vocabulary of functional forms in this intensive
workshop. Integrate throwing and altering
utilitarian pots and coil building large-scale
vessels. Explore surface, texture, line and
atmosphere. The work will be stamped, altered
and drawn on before being offered to the
influence of atmospheric kilns.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
The first part
of the workshop is focused on throwing and
decorating functional forms using porcelain
or stoneware. Coil building large vessels is
introduced, which incorporates texture using
found objects and hand-carved stamps.
Explore decorative techniques including inlay,
brushwork and wax resist. Work is fired in soda
and wood kilns.
ACTIVITIES
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
include morning and afternoon demonstrations
and lectures on throwing, coiling and decorative
techniques. Discussions and exercises occur that
facilitate the development of visual language
concerning functional pottery and atmospheric
firing. All parts of the firing processes are
discussed including glazing, wadding, loading
and firing strategies.

Día De Los Muertos:

Doug Casebeer &
Eddie Dominguez
CONCEPT
Our setting, San Miguel de
Allende, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich
in history and authentic Mexican culture. Día de
los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is simultaneously
a very personal, yet widely celebrated Mexican
tradition that can be traced back to a pre-
Columbian past. Integrating both Catholic and
indigenous traditions, the Day of the Dead is
easily one of Mexico’s most fascinating and
well-known festivals. This three-day celebration
including Halloween, Día de los Niños and
All Souls’ Day is filled with a variety of time-
honored traditions. San Miguel is known for
an intense cultural and artistic lifestyle as well
as stunning colonial architecture. In addition
to working in San Miguel, we visit the famous
Spanish sanctuary in nearby Atotonilco. During
our stay, San Miguel will be alive in preparations
for Día de los Muertos.
