FALL EXHIBIT and WORKSHOP
Matt Hyleck from Baltimore Clayworks
Exhibit
October 13-Sunday, November 4, 2018
Opening Reception
Saturday, October 13
5:30-7:00
Artist's Talk 6:00-6:30
Teapots / Bottles / More: Form & Utility
Join Baltimore artist Matt Hyleck in this 1-day demonstration workshop to explore a range of utilitarian forms; cup & saucer, bottles, teapots and lidded forms for the home and table. Demonstration and conversation will reinforce traditional throwing techniques unique to each form.
While considering the “how” and “why” of creating each vessel and while learning to assemble components, discussions will center on making functional vessels that are appealing, comfortable to hold, and easy to use. Methods for embellishing the surface will be discussed; including masking, wax resist and some of the nuance of Shino application. Previous clay experience strongly recommended.
