Margaret will present her methodology for creating vessel forms inspired and informed by historical ceramics and other decorative arts. Using the “coil and pinch” method of building and using drawing as a tool for both form and surface, Margaret will create a series of vessels based on ancient ceramics from the Italian peninsula, especially those made by the Etruscans. She will also share forms inspired by her study of Modernist era decorative arts, such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Demonstrations will include the creation of inventive lids, handles, spouts and other attachments. With Margaret’s guidance, students will have the opportunity to make a piece and have it fired. All levels of experience are welcome to attend.

This Visiting Artist Workshop is generously supported by the Jim and Lois Richmond Workshop Fund.
