About the Workshop
This winter's handbuilt pottery class project will center on a seder (or decorative) plate approximately 11 inches in diameter. Students will also make one or two related small dishes to create a set. The creative process will begin with rolling/forming a slab and then using stamps (both collected in nature and commercially made) to create textured interest on the surface of each piece.
The teacher will then take the pieces to fire/glaze in her studio and return them to the Skirball for pick-up.
Instructor: Allison Goodman has been an artist and designer for over forty years practicing in the fields of graphic design, environmental design, and ceramics. Her degrees are Carnegie-Mellon University (BFA) and the ArtCenter College of Design (MFA), where her studies of Digital Theory have inspired her latest experiments in 3D printed ceramics. Allison's Judaica-inspired ceramics can be found in Skirball's Audrey's Museum Store.
