Description: Students will learn the basic techniques of making Oneida Pottery including hand-building (coil method) and designing using ancient methods such as cording, stamping, and incising. During this two-day workshop, students will learn the introduction to Oneida pottery, history, and design. Students will begin pinch pot base and introduction to coiling while discussing proper storing methods to reduce drying and maintain work ability over time. Students will finish the form of the pot and allow their work to harden slightly while drawing out a design for the shoulder and/or collar. Firing will be provided outside of scheduled workshop hours. We will contact the students when the pot is finished firing is ready for pick-up.
Class instructors are supported in part by a grant from WI Arts Board with State of WI funds.
