This demonstration workshop will focus on handbuilding utilitarian forms. Those attending will be asked to consider ideas surrounding function and process from the perspective of both throwing and hand building. We will consider pragmatics of use, function and conceptual perspectives associated with pots – 2D to 3D and back again, idea, symbol, metaphor, and the meaning of process.  The workshop will include handbuilding demonstrations, patternmaking, discussions, and a slide presentation.
