In this one-week class, students will spend time turning bowls and other items suitable for surface enhancement. They will work on elements of design, techniques for obtaining a clean surface before sanding, and methods for turning a flawless curve. The forms produced will serve as canvases for exploring texture through pyrography and carving, as well as experimenting with color. The instructor will challenge students to draw inspiration from the textures they see in nature and in their everyday environments, then bring those ideas to life in their work.
