Two weeks duration, dedicated to the exploration of adjusting wheel thrown forms and combining them with techniques of hand building.

The students initially shall follow a program of brief practical demonstrations and mini-projects aimed at encouraging imagination and sensitivity towards a dialogue in composite forms and the implications of abstract form.
