From The Studio To The Kitchen: Hand/Wheel Hybrid
Adult Classes | Available
Start your party with beautiful pieces made by you in the studio! This hybrid class is for the wheel throwing or hand building student who wishes to focus on making vessels that are both functional and satisfying for the kitchen and home. Group demonstrations will include: chip/dip plates, serving bowls and plates, tea pots, lidded jars, spoon rests, mugs, planters, vases and more. Students should come to the class with goals of what they’d like to make and perfect, ready to start hand building or wheel throwing. Making good functional pieces with clay requires learning and practicing so you can take them to the next level.
- Please note that this class runs 5 WEEKS.
Rebecca Matarazzi
Using a variety of techniques in clay, my objective is to produce pieces for utilitarian purposes that convey a sense of tradition while allowing new concepts and ideas to develop. I get inspiration from the natural environment, creating designs for the home and kitchen that are pleasing both visually and tactilely. My teaching style is to observe each student and assess their individual needs in perfecting our craft. With a BS in Ceramics, Penn State University, I spend my days working in my pottery studio, using the Florida sun to hasten drying while fresh pieces await their first firing!
