Visiting Artist Workshop: Suze Lindsay
Wednesday March 15- Saturday, March 18
Lecture and reception with the artist: 6- 8 pm, Friday, March 17

Create pots with presence and personality. In this 4-day workshop you will have a chance to take your throwing and hand building skills to the next level by exploring the formal language of pottery: feet, lids, handles and decoration. Suze Lindsay is a full-time studio artist who creates functional pottery in the mountains near the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. Her work has a sense of playful animation that may remind you of dancing figures from a Disney cartoon, Japanese brushwork or the freshness of just-cut flowers.
