Together, we'll handbuild and throw\/assemble layered vessels, learning the structural techniques that make these forms possible — and the carving methods Jordan uses to transform solid walls of clay into intricate, light-catching surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis workshop is about more than technique. It's about patience, subtraction, and discovering how removing clay can reveal something more honest underneath. Expect demos, guided practice, problem-solving, and plenty of time to experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists will complete at least one luminary on the first day, which can be bisque fired (and optionally glazed) to take home. Additional pieces will focus on skill-building and exploration. Bisque firing and shipping (or local pickup) approximately one week after the workshop is available for an additional packing and shipping fee. Guests can also opt to add an additional week stay at Villa do Barro\/Well Traveled Wares studio to continue practicing new techniques and allow firing time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCome ready to carve, question, slow down, and build forms that hold both light and shadow.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.2; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0.2em 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePricing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll pricing is in Euros, guest from the US will see the pricing in dollars for the deposit at the current exchange rates.
