[Visiting Artist] Colorful Heads with Andréa Keys Connell

We’re beyond excited to welcome Andréa Keys Connell to Hand / Thrown! Andréa will lead a workshop focusing on handbuilding, sculpting with emotion, and underglaze application.

In this 2 day intensive workshop, we will build and underglaze fabulous, colorful heads! Andréa will demonstrate her hollow building technique that she uses to build at any scale. We will talk about facial expression, and how to tell a story through gesture and gaze. On the second day of the workshop, we will go over underglazing techniques and firing methods. Andréa will demonstrate how she develops patterns and color that work in conversation with the emotion of her pieces. Everyone will have the opportunity to underglaze their heads.

This is a weekend long intensive workshop. All wares should be taken home with you at the end of the day on Sunday, May 10th, or placed on the greenware shelf for firing, as this intensive does not allow for storage. Tools are available but it is suggested that you bring your own or purchase a kit from the studio. Bring a bag lunch and snacks for both days!
