Digging into Porcelain! This is an intensive, 3 day workshop where we will be using only porcelain, and at 2 different temperatures (cone 05 and cone 10). Open to all skill levels, and all types of making (throw, coil, slab, etc.)

In this 5-day workshop, Bryan Hopkins will share his 30+ years of working with porcelain, including low fire porcelain (!), techniques for translucence, surface manipulation, combining coil/slab/thrown/slipcast parts, and history of porcelain. There will be informative discussions and daily exercises geared toward finding inspiration through personal exploration of one’s own practice, both in and out of the studio. Participants are encouraged to bring their curiosity and creativity to contribute to the conversation. Attendees will gain the skills and confidence necessary to explore the many aspects of porcelain, including form, texture, line, and color.

Prerequisites: Participants should have a basic knowledge of working with clay.
