Our very own Darlene Malcolm-Moran will be conducting this week-long throwing workshop at the end of August. A popular teacher at KPG, Darlene’s work is governed by the tenants of beauty, functionality & form, as well as fine craftsmanship. We know this class will push your skills to the next level. This workshop is not intended for beginners, but for those already able to throw a 6″ cylinder, equivalent bowl and plate. Improve your throwing skills to create well balanced consistent pottery. Learn how to trim and finish clay additions to your thrown pottery so all is well crafted.
This workshop runs the week of August 26 – 30, 2019, (Mon – Fri) from 10:00am – 4:00pm each day ( Break: 12:30 – 1:30pm for Lunch ). Please bring your own pottery tools and a lunch. This workshop costs $372.90 (inc HST) for non-members and $327.70 (inc HST) for members. Members please apply for this class in the gallery or contact Clara at for more details. This class has a limited attendance, so don’t delay. Online registration is here.
