On the weekend of 15/16 May this year i did a workshop with Simon Carroll, a famous potter form UK. The workshop organise by Ceramic Victoria. Base on Cornwall, England, Simon bring a fresh perspective to ceramic. From a beginning of 1st degree Honours in ceramics; then teaching at Royal School of Art in London; through travel, teaching and lecturing, Simon has involve into something of a trail blazer. His work is feature in collections at Paisley Museum and the Alberystwyth Arts Center.
Over the weekend Simon show us how to push boundaries of ceramic - to work quickly and freely and to create some really 'gob-smacking' work.
He teach us how to throw and use plaster mould to alter the shape. I did not do his throwing techniques as i am not a thrower but i did try his approach to make work quickly and freely. After the workshop i think i have some idea of my new series of work! You can see the workshop and result of the workshop at my PHOTO section, under Simon Carroll Workshop.
