Opening Reception: First Friday, March 6, 2015, 6-9pm

Nick Joerling spends day one of the workshop demonstrating a variety of throwing and altering techniques he uses for creating the expressive and gestural forms for which he is known. Non-traditional techniques, such as incorporating trapped-air processes and off-the-wheel manipulations of the wheel-thrown vessel, are covered. On day two, participants apply techniques demonstrated on day one. One-on-one time with Nick allows participants to see how techniques can be incorporated in their own work.
