Cups, Stories and Empathy
Chris Staley, Ashlyn Pope
Tuition $1,200
Code C0303-24
Thousands of years ago, potters made separate vessels to hold tears of joy and tears of sorrow. How can cups we make hold stories we wish to share? How can stories induce empathy? These questions and more are explored in dynamic ways. This workshop includes myriad demonstrations, from creating sgraffito images to pulled hollow handles, and include both throwing and hand building techniques. Every mark, shape, form, image, and color reminds us of something. With an open heart and a seeker's spirit, all are welcome in this shared search for meaning.
