Clay Demonstration/Workshop With Pete Pinnell
$185 Member / $225 Non-member Membership deadline discount is May 1, 2010
When Pinnell teaches a workshop, the point is not to entertain or impress those attending. Instead, the intent is to provide ideas, techniques, information and insight that will be useful to those attending, and that will empower them when they return to their own studios. Because of this, the attention to questions and concerns of those at the workshop and the focus of Pinnell's presentation often shift in response the discussion. Pinnell has taught many workshops over the last 25 years, and no two have ever been exactly alike.
To begin the workshop, Pinnell will throw, alter, assemble, and texture a small group of utilitarian pots, including a teapot, ewer and cup. He will also demonstrate a variety of techniques for making pottery parts, including handles, spouts, lids and feet. While at work, he will address the aesthetic underpinnings of utilitarian pottery and contemporary ceramics in general, and lead the audience in a discussion of these topics.
Pinnell will begin the second day answering questions and lead discussions on clay bodies, and firing. Attendees are encouraged to bring questions and share their expertise for the benefit of others. It is always interesting to see examples of things that did not work, and to have the entire group troubleshoot the problem. We will use a computer glaze program called Hyperglaze (projected for everyone to see) to analyze the glaze, so we can better understand what is causing the problem, and we will work together to try to generate a solution. The intent of this part of the workshop is both to find solutions and also for everyone to experience the process that we use to find solutions.
Pete Pinnell made his living as a potter for twelve years before moving to the University of Nebraska Lincoln in 1995, where he is currently a professor of Arts. In addition to his teaching, he has continued to exhibit widely. His work has appeared throughout the U.S., and in the Netherlands, South Africa, Japan, China, New Zealand and Australia. In March of 2001 he was was a featured artist at the NCECA (National Council on Education in Ceramics Arts) national conference, where he spoke and demonstrated.
In addition to his teaching and exhibition career, he has been an active writer on ceramic art with articles in American and Australian ceramic journals, and a regular column, "As far as I know....," which appears in Clay Times Magazine.
