Come dance around your pot with Sam Wallace in this 12-week exploration of commercial and native MD clays. Participants will gain insight into traditional folk art hand-building techniques employed by Sam for building his large-scale vessels. Combining both the coil and pinch methods of hand-building students will create a wide variety of forms, from vases to the famous “pineapple pot”. Students will be using a variety of clay in this class including hand-processed natural ^10 clay. This is a wonderful cultural opportunity in which you will learn a different and unique method of working in clay.
