Dear Participants,

 

We’re excited to welcome you to our upcoming two-day pottery workshop with the talented Juliann Roush. Get ready for an inspiring, hands-on experience designed to stretch your creativity and sharpen your skills.

​

Workshop Overview

​

Workshop: Hinges and High-Temp Wire

​

This session takes clay work up a notch and is geared toward participants with some prior experience.

​

What You’ll Create: Puffy wall sculptures with real, functional hinged doors.

Techniques Covered:

​​

• Craft custom wire stamps to make textural impressions and add whimsical appliqués.

• Use your stamps to design your “puffy” sculptures.

• Learn glazing tips and tricks with squeeze bottles and an AirPen.

• Incorporate high-temperature wire for added drama and design.​

 

Food & Refreshments

 

A light breakfast will be provided each morning. Lunch is on your own—bring something you love or choose from our list of nearby restaurants.

​

Materials & Tools

 

All materials are supplied, and general pottery tools will be available. Feel free to bring any favorite hand-building tools. A clay paddle is especially helpful but not required.

​

We can’t wait to dive into this creative adventure with you. If you have any questions before the workshop, please reach out.
