THROW BIG: Ceramics Class with Brian O’Neill

The Jansen Art Center is pleased to welcome ceramic artist Brian O’Neill to the Ceramics Studio for a one day workshop, Throw Big on Saturday, May 13 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

The workshop is aimed at challenging and expanding both technical and conceptual approaches to making pottery. By combining wheel-thrown sections together, large forms are possible without the strain of wrestling many pounds of clay on center.

Demonstrations and hands-on activities will challenge participants to push their technical approach to the point of innovation.

Brian O’Neill is a ceramic artist whose work is represented nationally by galleries and museums. His work is on exhibit at a handful of regional art shows, most recently participating in the Smithsonian Craft Show in Washington, D.C.

The workshop is limited to 8 students. The class fee is $175, and clay can be purchased at the cost of $20 per bag. This class is limited to adults and teens over the age of sixteen. Basic throwing skills are required.
