HANDBUILT PINCH MUGS WITH CLAUDIA DE SALVO
During this workshop participants will be guided through the process of making a hand-built ceramic mug using traditional pinching and coiling techniques. Ceramic artist and teacher, Claudia De Salvo, likes to facilitate a relaxed and creative setting in her workshops, allowing each individual the opportunity to develop their own design and create a functional piece of pottery fit for everyday use.
After the workshop, Claudia will take the pieces to be fired in her own studio where they will be finished with her signature handmade glazes and posted to you when they are done.
