Shaping Stones: Intro to Ceramics with Natalia Ira Sookias - March

Description Taught by Natalia Ira Sookias 4 Sundays in March from 12-2pm Dates: March 2, 9, 16 & 23 Our hands are our receptors to feel through this world. They signal to our minds and hearts how to interact with the landscapes that surround us. When connecting and attuning to our sensorial touch, the information that we gather through our finger tips can be one of our greatest sources of insight. In this introductory workshop, we will focus on tuning the relationship between our hands, hearts, minds and material. We will strengthen our ability to listen, and feel through clay. We will develop our capability to hear what the material is telling us and allow it to lead us, rather than imposing our own expectations onto it. Participants will learn fundamental techniques to handbuilding including pinch pots, coiling, slab building and glazing. With these techniques participants can essentially build anything, functional, abstract and everything inbetween.  Participants are welcome to
