Former Red Star Resident, 2003-2005 Mike Jabbur, will be returning to instruct our first workshop of 2010. Since his residency Mike completed his Masters at Ohio State University and is currently the Studio Manager at Santa Fe Clay in Santa Fe, NM.
In this workshop, Mike Jabbur will demonstrate his unique approaches to wheel throwing, altering, trimming, and hand-building functional pottery. Demonstrations will include throwing and altering on the potter’s wheel, trimming on chucks to reconcile the difficulty in footing highly altered forms, and making handles, knobs, and spouts that challenge conventional studio approaches. Discussions will include inspiration, design, craftsmanship, presentation, and the role of utilitarian pots in contemporary culture.
