Spend two days with master potter Tom Coleman, who will share his experiences and philosophy on working as a clay artist for the last 45 years.  He will first present a slide show of his past and present work and give us a brief history of his involvement with porcelain as a medium.   He will then throw several functional and decorative forms, creating altered pieces.  There will be ongoing discussion and demonstration of different decorating techniques.  On the second day Tom will assemble the pieces produced the day before, and will discuss various ways of formulating porcelain clay bodies and slips.  He will also go over his glazes and how they are applied.  Talk will touch on how to approach marketing your work and how to take good professional quality photographs of your work for consideration in magazines, books, and entry in fairs and shows. 

For forty-five years, Tom Coleman has been developing his craft as a hand-built potter working with both porcelain and stoneware, each equally refined and well-balanced. His work has gained him numerous awards and notoriety in the field of ceramics. A graduate of the Northwest College of Art and a resident of Nevada since 1987, Tom continues to grow as an artist and shares his discoveries and enthusiasm through numerous workshops. Tom Coleman's work is featured in a number of different galleries nationwide, including a 2003 solo exhibition entitled "Desert Landscape" at the Nevada Arts Council Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada. He has written much on the subject of ceramics and has himself been the subject of much published review. Tom Coleman works with wife Elaine out of their studio and gallery in Henderson, Nevada.
