Tangled Up in Clay- Hand Building with Carl Horton: In this hand building class we will look at texture and connections to build form, focusing on coil pots, labyrinths, carved lanterns and even a bird’s nest or two! Our focus with be the marvel of clay, its lyricism, its connections to life, and its ability to transform us. We will take a look at Celtic knots and global symbols as we form our pieces. By week’s end your pots will be glazed and fired, ready to use, even as we are still being formed and reformed!
