Please join us on April 19th for a hand building workshop led by Bill Tersteeg. Bill is an accomplished ceramic artist who will share unique hand building techniques as he demonstrates how to make and decorate a musical dragon. Because of their structure and length, the dragons can be used as musical horns, adding to their charm. (Several of Bill’s recent pieces will be on display in La Mano’s gallery during our April show.)
These dragons — standing as tall as 2 feet high — are sturdy cones of clay made without seams. This unique approach, which we have never seen in any hand building book or other workshop, has many applications that can enhance your own decorative or functional work. Bill will guide you step-by-step in making your own dragon and discuss how to apply these new techniques in other ways. Take home more than the dragon you will make — a new arsenal of hand building tips and techniques to add to your hand building skills.
All materials, including clay and tools, will be provided by La Mano Pottery, but you are welcome to bring along any favorite tools. Space is limited so make your reservation soon. You can sign up on line or call the studio to register or for more information: 212.627.9450
