This weekly adult class offered an intimate setting for me to share some of my own means and methods for constructing slab-built vessels. 

A primer course invested 4 weeks in the designing and building a bisque mold.  I placed emphasis on taking the time to sketch before sculpting the mold and then testing the mold before finalizing the form.

When putting the mold to use, I encouraged students to accentuate construction joints and use these lines to guide the shape of the vessel.  Check out the Drafted Vessels section of my CERAMICS gallery to view examples of this series.
