Join me in beautiful San Miguel De Allende, Mexico!
Primarily using the wheel, we will make our favorite everyday forms even better! Cups, mugs, bowls, and more! We will discuss and explore the elements of these essential forms. Discussing how our own culinary and kitchen idiosyncrasies help to define the creative and functional choices within the foot, body, handle, and rim of each design. San Miguel De Allende will offer a perfect backdrop and opportunity for additional inspiration and inventiveness with every meal, as we think about and investigate these ideas around service and use.
Lindsay will demonstrate throwing these various forms and incorporating handbuilt finishing touches. As a class we will start with several variations of cups and bowls, and continue to add to and alter these basic forms with handles, spouts, decorative rims, and trimming. We will talk about each particular element involved in fulfilling the whole piece. There will be lots of time for experimenting with the details. The goal is to understand, personalize, and make better the vessels we use everyday. It is about taking the inspiration from our investigation into your studio and future designs.
