Handbuilt Tableware

Instructor: Candace Birchfield

Are you ready to get your hands into it? Using slump and hump molds, you can create plates, platters, bowls, gob­lets and mugs. Or, roll up your sleeves and slab or coil your own one-of-kind designer tableware that you can decorate with impressions, inlay, carving or slip painting. Finish your works with beautiful food safe glazes.

Candace Birchfield’s ceramics path has taken her from learning bare basics on her own to studying in groups and privately with a teacher. “I love creating artwork by myself, without distractions. However, teaching others about the wonders of working with clay is a very rewarding and satisfying experience for me; I need both worlds. Creating my own works and sharing my experience and enthusiasm with others is a wonderful combination that keeps my work fresh and ever evolving. “
