Dig deeper into the concepts, conversations and techniques that produce great cups. Through discussion and demonstration, we will develop a systematic approach to the myriad decisions that come together to produce intentional and refined drinking vessels. We will explore various cup forms, trimming techniques and handle making approaches. Students should expect to come away with a few finished mugs, and a deeper understanding of how to engage in the design and production of thoughtful cups.
Joe Hochman is an active duty service member in the Coast Guard and an avid potter stationed in Westport, WA. He has had the privilege of making, teaching, and showing in Santa Fe New Mexico; Macomb, Illinois; Juneau, Alaska; and Asheville, North Carolina. With a background in Philosophy and a love of teaching, he believes that conversations about pots, the communities that spring up around them, and teaching others how to make them is as important as the work he makes himself.
