FORM FUNCTION and FAMILY
The starting point for this porcelain throwing course is an examination of the formal relationships between pieces in a maker’s work. How the consideration of scale, shape, function and decoration can bring a sense of coherence to a body of work and make the impact of the group greater than the sum of its individual parts. As you will be working on primarily functional forms there will also be the opportunity to work on handles, lids and spouts.
