Dynamic Forms: Volumetric & Asymmetrical Pottery with Dehmie Dehmlow

Come learn to build funky curvilinear forms with Dehmie Dehmlow! 

Using a variety of slab building and refining techniques, Dehmie creates dynamic and abstract pottery. She uses different layering approaches to create rich layers of color and texture on her pots, crafting visually and physically exciting pieces. 

During this one-day in-person workshop, participants will learn how to design a template to use to create a slab-built a vessel. Dehmie will demonstrate soft and stiff slab construction as well as refinement techniques to achieve crisp, asymmetrical, volumetric forms like plates, mugs, bowls, butter dishes, pour-overs, and her unique “boat” forms. 

The techniques that you will learn during this workshop can be translated into pottery forms as well as small to large scale sculpture. If you are interested in expanding your hand building capabilities to include the use of templates and soft and stiff slab construction, come join us!
