Altered Pots with Sequioa Miller April 17 -18, 2010; Fee: $190; $185 LAC Members
Sequoia Miller is a studio artist based in Olympia, Washington. He will be at the Lee Arts Center to conduct a fast-paced workshop that will show how he makes many of his signature wheel-thrown and altered pottery forms. Sequoia will make four-footed bowls, altered vases, lids for jars taken off-round, and complex assembled pouring forms like teapots and pitchers. He will also show approaches to glazing and decorative surfaces that can enhance and redefine forms, as well as discuss ideas for keeping studio work dynamic and lively so that each pot is a continued exploration. A slide lecture will complement the studio demonstrations.
