Workshop Description
This workshop will focus on the possibilities available when we liberate our hands and leave big expensive tools like slab rollers and extruders out of the process. Students will learn to illustrate personal imagery with textured slabs and use those slabs to construct functional and sculptural pots.
All experience levels will enjoy this class.

"I loved that I could come into Dennis' workshop 'green' and still get so much out of it!"
"Dennis knows, lives and teaches from the heart, soul and mind. I learned more from him in three days than I have in the last one and a half years in my clay class."
"I thought the demonstrations were extremely well done- executed with passion as well as detail. I was mesmerized. I believe Dennis could teach anyone, he is so patient..."
