Pottery: Expressive Forms & Surfaces
Josh DeWeese, Doug Casebeer & David Pinto
CONCEPT
Step outside your normal work environment and take risks in a supportive studio
atmosphere. Travel to the northern coast of Jamaica for a week-long intensive workshop focused on
pottery-making techniques and design. In addition to studio experience, interact with local artists
working in clay and gain a cultural awareness of plantation life and Caribbean history.
Address the elements that contribute to the character of a pot and techniques to develop them and
make them your own. Develop pottery as an expressive art form. Demonstrations include different
ways for making pots using throwing and altering techniques. Make work to fire in a wood kiln
using stoneware and porcelain clay. Discuss ideas for developing expressive surface treatments for
atmospheric firing. Presentations of the artists’ work and contemporary ceramics will complement
this hands-on experience.
