Let it Flow – Making Your Pots Pour
Open to all skill levels.
In this workshop we will make a variety of pots that pour. We will start with simple ewer forms and move on to pitchers, teapots, and coffee pots. Demonstrations will include throwing and altering; throwing, pulling and hand-building spouts; pulling handles; and inlay line decoration. We will also do a cone 10 soda firing. Bring some pots from home (must be made from high fire clay) for the firing, and your ideas for making pouring pots.
Lorna Meaden is currently a full-time studio potter in Durango Colorado, where she has lived off and on for almost 30 years. She originally moved to town to go to Fort Lewis College. Since then she has had many adventures in the local art scene along with intermittent moves to other places for education, artist residencies, and as much international travel as possible.
Lorna opened and ran the Durango Clay Center in the late 90’s-early 2000’s, and has had multiple local studio spaces including her current home studio. She has been visiting faculty at San Juan College in Farmington, Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville, and Fort Lewis College in Durango. She received her MFA in ceramics from Ohio University in 2005, and has completed several artist residencies in the west. Some of what she has considers her most fulfilling work has been teaching and learning abroad, including time spent in Jamaica, Nicaragua, Nepal, Italy, and most recently Bali, Indonesia.
