“Bottles, salt and pepper shakers, covered jars and teapots, these are all forms that I make using the basic bottle form. The graceful bulge of the body leading into the narrow neck draws me in for a closer view of its sensual curves. Add texture and alterations, and you get a whimsical form that is both functional and pleasing to the eye.” Participants will gain the skills to throw a basic bottle and closed forms that can then be altered into various other forms.
