The Clay Collaboration
Artists endorsing artists to bring you an elevated workshop experience.
Our workshops combine in-depth technical instruction with meaningful creative results to help build a joyful, high energy community in your studio.
Juliann Roush
Juliann’s lively handbuilding workshops explore slab-built pottery with a playful twist, where strong form and function meet bold surface design. Participants learn practical construction techniques while experimenting with handmade stamps, pattern, and color to create expressive, one-of-a-kind pieces. Along the way, makers build confidence while discovering new ways to add personality and narrative to their work. Expect skill-building, creative freedom, and a joyful studio energy that encourages ideas to run wild.
Andrew Krueger
Andrew Krueger offers tailored workshops on throwing dramatic bottles and vases with a sense of breath and/or an introduction to crystalline glazing. In a bottle workshop, students can expect to learn to throw and trim porcelain bottles with exaggerated features like narrow feet, narrow necks, and large, inflated bellies.
A glaze workshop with Andrew would focus on a the basics of crystalline glazes- drip catchers, firing cycles, formulas, and application. He will also share his testing methods, combining chemistry and visual evidence to manipulate glazes. The goal of the glaze workshop is to demystify crystalline glazes and show that, with some planning, they aren’t scary to work with.
