Hand Building Demo: Sunshine Cobb "Exploring Functional Hand Building"
Summary
Sunshine’s demonstration will motivate you to experiment with new and old forms and methods of construction. Her workshop is geared toward creative expansion, and a process-over-product mentality, beginners to advanced students will be inspired by. The workshop will include coil and pinch methods and hard and soft slab construction to generate pottery components. She will speak to the building surface through the making process and discuss the glaze and surface treatment of her work.
Sunshine’s work foundation is very much based in the tradition of historic ceramics, but she is a completely modern potter with contemporary themes in her work. She will talk about inspiration and how abstract concepts make their way into her work and how to foster similar insertion into your own creative practice.
