Scale Up Handbuilding Demo by Adam Ledford
Don’t miss this special opportunity to learn from award-winning Philadelphia-based ceramic artist Adam Ledford in an upcoming demo co-hosted by the Center for Craft and Odyssey Clayworks. In this large-scale hand-building demo, visitors will learn techniques to create large vessel forms. Emphasis will be placed on how clay texture impacts building techniques and experimentation with non-traditional clay tools can lead to unique shapes and textures.
Odyssey Clayworks is an educational pottery studio and gallery located in the historic River Arts District at 236 Clingman Ave. Asheville, NC 28801.
This event is held in conjunction with the exhibition Scale Up: 10 Years, 10 Fellows, 10 Projects, on view January 19–July 28, 2018 at the Center for Craft.
