Function and creativity meet head to head in this hands-on workshop. Suze has a passion for working with her hands, and for making pots for everyday use that are well crafted and a pleasure to use. Demonstrations and individual attention will be used to teach the making of functional pots that are thrown on the wheel, taken out of the round, stacked, and assembled. Suze will share her approach to surface and the use of slip decoration to create unity between form and surface while enlivening each pot.
