Lifting 102

This 45 minute workshop will concentrate on an exercise we call ‘Pull it til you break it’.  We will walk you through the techniques of lifting (or pulling) up the walls, until the walls are so thin and fragile that they naturally collapse. This exercise will teach students how far the clay will actually go, so you don’t get stuck making a bunch of paper weights. We learn through failure, and sometimes that can be scary! But once you start making those tall, thin-walled vessels, you’ll be happy for the breaks along the way

*Prerequisite: You must be able to center the clay on your own without instruction. **16 or older
