NEW!
Pottery Workshop with Instructor George McCauley 
February 25 & 26, 2012; 10 am -5 pm; 2 days
George McCauley’s unique approach to using the potter’s wheel and handbuilding techniques as a basis for altered and assembled forms will be shared in this two-day demonstration workshop. His casual, playful and irreverent use of color, texture, and distortion of the thrown volume has gained him national and international recognition and his work has been featured in both Ceramics Monthly and Ceramics: Art and Perception magazines. Before becoming a Resident Artist at the Archie Bray Foundation, George was a studio potter working in the Watkinsville area. He is currently living and working in Helena, Montana. Whether you are a thrower or a handbuilder, this workshop will change the way you think about clay. The presentation will include demonstrations, tall tales, images, and general pottery-related discussions. Bring lunch and an open mind.
Course: 5846 Fee: $110 members & non-members.
To register, call 404.872.5338 or register online.
For specific questions regarding the workshop, please call the Pottery Department direct line at 404.874.9351.
