Naked Raku Workshop With Will & Kate Jacobson, Wally Asselberghs & Sue Morse

To wrap up NCECA 2012, I and three students attended a naked raku workshop organized by Richard Lawson and held at Seattle Pottery Supply, featuring Will & Kate Jacobson the first day, and Wally Asselberghs & Sue Morse the second. I only got to go the first day, but it was a good time, and worth it: Kate and Will were great, I learned how to make the process work, and my students came back super-excited to do more.

The Teaware From The Edge exhibit and workshop, organized by Rob Fornell and Rick Mahaffey, took place at Tacoma Community College, the home of Rick and Reid Ozaki. The exhibit ran from March 26 - 30th, and included works from 36 artists from the USA, Japan, Korea, and the UK; the workshop was held on the 31st and April 1st, and featured Rob Fornell, Richard Milgrim, Inayoshi Osamu and Jeff Shapiro. I hitched a ride with the fast and friendly, helpful and hair-raising Brendan Fuller to view the exhibit and attend the first day of the workshop. It was great to see such a range of work in person, to learn from four very talented and knowledgeable artists, and to meet a number of other teaware and ceramic artists who attended. I had a chance to take a few photos of the exhibit, which may be seen here on the exhibit page, along with a list of those participating in the show. For more photos and notes on the workshop presenters, click on the photos of their works below.

Tom Coleman Workshop Pre-NCECA 2012

A small piece by Tom Coleman.

Last weekend, just before NCECA 2012, I was lucky enough to attend a two-day workshop given by Tom Coleman at Shoreline Community College. Tom was generous with his work, knowledge, experience and humor, and it was a treat to get to know him a little, and his insights into the culture and community of clay.
