An opportunity for hand builders, those who want to scale up, investigate design principles, form and surface…….. bonus if you are a plant lover
We are thrilled to finally showcase our very own Jack Lätti at The Kiln Room, we somehow convinced him to crawl out of packing his Anagama in August to deliver a very special ‘Form Follows Function’ Living Sculptures Workshop. Join us for an action packed day of design principles, building techniques and surface treatments.
Jack has worked in the ceramic industry since the mid 1990s. He developed his iconic vessels for plants by combining his horticulture studies with his ceramic knowledge which has made for a perfect match. Jack has a passion for passing on knowledge, sharing ideas and connecting with other artists. An entertainer at heart his workshop delivery will have you captivated from start to finish.
This workshop is suitable for participants with any level of experience working with clay. In the workshop Jack will demonstrate a variety of basic forms that he uses for his designs and then help you put you own twists and ideas in to your very own version.
Last but not least your pieces will be reduction fired at The Kiln Room which will make for a beautifully rich surface loaded with variation and warmth.
