Let your intuition cultivate the piece you might be missing. In this workshop, Donte will motivate you to envision outside the box and develop visceral small scale sculptures with both wheel thrown and hand built parts. Through abstraction, combining these objects can transform functionality and enrich the aesthetic experience. In addition to discussing various methods at the wheel, demonstrations will include techniques through coils, slabs, and surface design.
