Pottery Basics
Doug Casebeer guest artist Bradley Walters
Skill Level: Open to all
CONCEPT: Making pots for daily use is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. This workshop
is about the fundamentals of pottery making,
both hand built and wheel thrown. The workshop focuses on pots for the table, including
objects made for serving and preparing food,
with Doug sharing his many years of ceramic
knowledge and experience.
Media & Techniques: Stoneware clays and
glazes in high-fire kilns; soda and gas reduction
kilns for finishing; clay thrown on the potter’s
wheel or hand built with slabs or coils; slab
roller, extruder, press molds and other simple
forming techniques.
Activities: Demonstrations are twice daily.
There are group lectures and individual instruction. We practice making cylinders and bowls,
then move on to spouts and handles. Students
progress at their own rates and develop practical
skills they can take home to their own studios.
Faculty: Doug Casebeer has been the Artistic Director for Ceramics and Sculpture at the
Anderson Ranch Arts Center for over 26 years.
He received his MFA from Alfred University. He
has been a ceramics consultant for the United
Nations and the German Government and is
actively involved with art projects around the
world from Chile to Jamaica to Nepal.

Your Symbols & the
Conscious Portrait
CONCEPT: Concentrating on the portrait bust,
we use the “Inside-Out” method to make our
art “conscious.” With expressionistic hands,
students learn how to depict advanced facial
emotions by understanding the asymmetry of
the face and upper body, and seeing clay as a
moving wall of skin. We draw techniques from
