In this workshop, we will use handbuilding techniques to explore form through serving dishes. We will investigate rims, handles, and the small decisions that define how a dish functions and feels in use. Demonstrations will cover building with soft slabs, adding coils for volume, and constructing handles that integrate with the form. We will address surface by using resists such as wax and latex to layer glaze and create pattern. Finished work will be fired in Haystack’s salt/soda kiln. All levels welcome.

Courtney Martin (she/her) is a studio potter in the North Carolina mountains.
