The three-day workshop started
with cylinders...
Chuck had many techniques
for altering shapes of thrown forms
We were encouraged to throw
large vessels with
bellies and then to alter the shape of their bodies or lips
A pocket was created from
a thrown form, which was
placed on a base, with ears adding interest to the shapes
Chuck squared off the thrown
teapot by slicing four
sides, and he shaped the foot by gentle pounding with his palm
Examples of Chuck's creations
The workshop ended with a
short jazz piano concert
