Join us to make your very own ceramic olive-oil cruet (or vinegar or soy-sauce cruet—we don’t judge). We will practice hand-building and surface-decoration techniques, experimenting with form and function. Clay, tools, and texture rollers will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own favorite stamps. Participants will be able to collect their creations once they have been fired.
Bio: Katharine Purcell creates wheel-thrown and altered mugs, bowls, platters, and other tableware that pay homage to her native Lowcountry surroundings. Fish and shrimp dart across her plates while trumpet vine and palmetto gather along the sides of her bowls. Her fascination with nature, form, and utility was first nurtured in grade school when she began shaping clay that she dug from neighboring creek banks and road cuts. And while she pursued a career in liberal-arts education, she continued to work with clay, eventually organizing Waveware Studio where she now works full time.
