Adrian King: Plates and Bowls of all Sizes
Sunday, November 17, 9:00-4:00 p.m.
Adrian King leads a full day workshop making plates, bowls & platters. Coffee and lunch are included.
Artist Statement
My approach to making pottery stems from an intrigue for the process and materials that I use. I utilize atmospheric firing technique using wood and gas, that activate the surfaces with an earth-toned warmth. The firing process allows moments of uncertainty to happen. Bursts of color appear where licked by the flame and glaze wraps around a pot like water against rock. I want my pottery to bring comfort to our daily routine through tactile and visually stimulating surfaces that promote and encourage use.
