wild clays of the northwest | a two day intro | september 13 + 14
We are beyond exciting to be hosting Hosanna White of Wildsnake Arts for her Seattle Intro to Wild Clay!
This two day intro explores the complex chemistry and creativity of working with wild clays of the Pacific Northwest and how to integrate them into your pottery practice.
Pottery has always been an art and science of the earth. Foraging for local clays begins a conversation with our local landscape. Through observation and experimentation our appreciation deepens for the unique histories and personalities of the minerals in our hands.
We will spend the first day meeting the glacial deposits common to the puget sound and learning about the unique geology of the region. We will discuss foraging, processing, clay bodies, blending and more! Seattle’s geology, as well as recent industrial history has limited the clay resources of the region, so it is important to know that while some foraging is possible in the area, this workshop will focus on applying this knowledge to the Pacific Northwest as well.
The first day will be at an outdoor foraging location outside of Seattle, TBA. Carpooling will be coordinated for those needing a ride or wish to share the ride with other participants. The second day will be at Of the Earth Collective in South Seattle.
Additional workshop info can be found here. We’ll see you there!
