His workshop, Clay Slabs, The Narrative Surface and Image Transfers - July 13th & 14th, will provide instruction on how to screen print with slips and under-glazes onto clay slabs. The final workshop in the series is with Nathan Tonning, MFA from Minnesota University. His workshop is titled Re-Tooling- July 27th & 28th. He will teach participants how to identify and use everyday objects and household appliances in the ceramics studio. He will also provide instruction on how to build your own ceramic tools.
