In this three-hour workshop, Gabrielle will share some of her secrets to creating fine, delicate pottery that embraces into the organic, earthy qualities of hand-built vessels.During the class, you will be guided to create one or two pieces of your own design that can be decorated in a range of colour choices. You will learn tried and true techniques to make pinch potting easier and more intuitive. Including how to properly prepare your clay, pinch to create even walls, and smooth and refine your forms using simple tools like wooden spoons.
