Vince Pitelka offered a workshop titled “Handbuilding: Tricks of the Trade” on August 7-11, 2007, at Lane Community College.
Workshop Description - Our objective is to get you to handbuild with a sense of adventure and discovery. We will explore unusual ways of approaching pinch, coil, and slab construction in order to develop a particular mind set, an adventurous inclination to use handbuilt forms in new ways, opening up the possibility of original form inaccessible through more traditional approaches. Although our primary concerns are design and construction, we will bisque-fire as much work as possible so that it can be transported safely. We will have a number of slide shows to introduce a broad range of historical and contemporary handbuilt form and technique. I encourage you to bring samples, slides, or photos of your work to share with the group.
For information, contact Tom Rohr at rohrt@lanecc.edu or 541.463.5417.
