Special Workshop
Paper Clay Workshop
November 8th, 10am-4pm
November 9th, 10 am-4pm
Instructor: Jerry L. Bennett
2-day workshop $225
Paper Clay is a different kind of clay body that has generated much excitement among potters. It allows users to create work that is thinner than customary pieces, with surprising tensile strength. We’re thrilled to offer an opportunity to learn from a notable expert, Philadelphia artist Jerry Bennett.
Bennett will conduct a two-day, workshop on making paper clay, as well as sharing hand-building techniques for working with paper clay. Expand your understanding of this unique material by learning to incorporate various fibers into the clay to create both functional pottery and sculptural forms.
We will be working with cone six porcelain, so please bring the following to the workshop: hand-building tools, a small pair of scissors, and a clean canvas to work on.
The workshop fee includes 10 pounds of paper clay and all glazing and firing fees.
