Pottery Workshop - Animal Boxes with Becca Floyd

Join Pullen Arts Center Saturday & Sunday, August 25 & 26 for Pottery – Animal Boxes Workshop with Becca Floyd. Using simple tools, we will create a variety of thrown boxes and sculpted animals, combining them to make fun, interesting pots with lots of character. We’ll explore innovative handbuilding and decorating techniques, such as adding feet and flanges, stamping and stamp-making, line-making, and brushing. There will also be historical discussions about Eastern and Western culture’s use of animals with pottery. Bring your ideas and we’ll resolve them as a group. Some previous wheel experience required.
