Potters and clay artists have used the teapot as a canvas for expression since the beginnings of tea over 500 years ago in China. These teapot shapes have ranged from the historical to the hysterical with Tim's teapots firmly planted in the latter. This 5 day workshop will allow students to design and build their own unique teapots without a wheel, learning design specific techniques including : slab construction, relief moulding, pinch and coil construction/decoration, slump/hump moulding, spout and handle variations , surface treatments and glazing options. Daily demonstrations and individual step by step approach leavened with Tim's propensity for fun will make this an enjoyable and fulfilling week. All levels welcome! Since graduating from Sheridan College's School of Design [ceramics] in 1973, Tim has been combining a variety of hand-building techniques with form, function, and a wry sense of humour. Dragons, elephants, giraffes, steamships, spaceships, birds , houses, skyscrapers and snails have all emerged from his workshop; many in the guise of teapots. Tim's work can be found in many major North American collections, private, public and corporate. His work has been exhibited widely in one man shows, group exhibitions, and ceramic competitions in North America and Germany. Since 1981 Tim has lived in the Upper Ottawa Valley with his wife Artist/Blacksmith Lydia VanderStaal Instructor: Tim Storey Cost: $279.90 Canadian Resident Course Code: ARTS 118 540 USA Resident Course Code: 2500 506 *please call*
