Service Description
We are so excited to announce our newest workshop Pinching Patterns, with Courtney Hassmann. This two day event will be held on June 14th and 15th from 11 am-3 pm. You will be learning hands-on how to use the technique, Nerikomi. Due to the advanced technique in this workshop we recommended that participants have the basics to clay down. Day one will focus on prepping the clay. Courtney will demo making colored clay using her personal method and then we will supply 3 (1.5 lb.) balls to each student with three different color options (avocado, khaki, and iron brown.) From there, different techniques will be shown, giving the students options on what pattern they would like to create, ultimately choosing two different ones to try. Day two will be focused on constructing the pieces. This is super important to do correctly to avoid cracking/separation between the squares. We will set aside some space for these pieces to slowly dry under wrapping. Clay room staff will glaze pieces clear for non members.
