Clay Puzzling Workshop with Gail Ashford

Posted by: Gallery East Art Center

Let me introduce you to Clay Puzzling!

Hi ~ Over thirty years ago I started playing with clay! It is so much fun. I have done hand built slab constructions, tiles and wheel thrown vessels. However rewarding, it can be very messy and labor intensive.
But not with Clay Puzzling. I discovered Clay Puzzling working with it's founder Michael Harbridge two years ago. This technique allows you to build your clay vessel without water in one session. (even if you have long acrylic nails!!!) The basics are very simple and no two pieces are exactly alike. Using molds it is easier and faster to see results. Avoiding the frustrations so many have of learning the wheel before finally getting a clay vessel to the firing stage!
Yes, You can achieve successful shapes without trying to get clay centered on a wheel or forming in traditional hand building methods.
Clay Puzzling has caught on and has evolved on it's own. By adding textures, coils, sprigs and many other aspects the possibilities are endless. And so much FUN!
Please join me & discover all the exciting things you can create with clay.
