Diana Fayt: Nature on the Surface at the Ah Haa School for the Arts
June 4 –6 | Friday – Sunday | 10AM – 4PM | $495
Featured on the cover of Ceramics Monthly, Diana Fayt will be coming to Telluride for a three day workshop. Using simple three dimensional forms we will explore composition, drawing on the form. We will take into consideration all aspects of the three dimensional surface and not be limited by edges and boundaries. Diana’s daily demonstrations will include using molds to build simple forms, surface applications such as layering of slips and underglazes to create rich fields of color, drawing on and in the clay, the use of oxides, firing and tips and tricks to obtaining clean crisp lines in clay. Diana will also discuss and demonstrate other ceramic mediums and processes to create rich and interesting surfaces on your three dimensional forms, using things like cardboard letter stencils and old letterpress typeface, as well as how to transfer your images onto clay surfaces without sophisticated drawing skills. During her demonstrations, Diana will discuss elements of design, how to push the boundaries and see your pieces as limitless surfaces for expressing your visual ideas.
Pottery with Kent Harris & Elmer Taylor: Two Approaches to Function
August 20 – 22 | Friday – Sunday | 10AM – 4PM | $495
Texas potter Kent Harris returns to the Ah Haa School with Elmer Taylor this summer to teach their individual approaches for making functional pottery.

This workshop will also encompass the ways that Harris and Taylor deal with the surface treatment and glazing of their pots, including a brush making demonstration by Elmer Taylor. This workshop is hands on. Students will be encouraged to find their own approaches to function while learning new techniques in their pottery making.
