Exploring Lidded Vessels

This four day workshop will be an introduction to and exploration of various lidded ceramic vessels. Students will use wheel-throwing and slab-building processes. Ben will demonstrate various lidded-vessel bodies, lids, and galleries (where the body interfaces with the lid). We will also look at historical and contemporary examples of lidded vessels.

Prerequisite: basic understanding of wheel-throwing and slab-building processes but students may choose either to investigate and focus on during class.
