Master Class: Putting a Lid on It
David MacDonald

This workshop focuses on the variety of issues related to making lidded vessels on the potter's wheel. There will be demonstrations of the "lidding systems" as well as alternative techniques. The workshop discusses some of the critical concerns of lidded vessels related to proportion and functionality. Portfolios will be accepted on a rolling basis. Instructions on how to submit your portfolio are as follows: Submit digital images of your work in one single PDF (as opposed to individual JPG attachments) via email directly to Joanne Seongweon Lee, Studio Coordinator of Ceramics at jlee@andersonranch.org The single PDF must be less than 10 MB to be considered. Include 5-10 images of your work with image identification that lists the title, media, dimensions and year of each image. While not required, it is helpful to see an artist statement addressing the images you send. Include “Advanced Portfolio Review” in the subject line of your email, as well as the title of the workshop for which you are applying. Please provide a phone number where you can be reached and a link to your website. Submissions that do not follow the requested directions will not be reviewed. If you are accepted, a deposit of $650 will be required within one week of notification of acceptance to hold your place. Housing will be assigned on a space-available basis upon enrollment.
