In this two day demo and hands-on workshop Candice will demonstrate various techniques for hand-building, including working with molds and tar paper templates to make interesting and unique forms. She will discuss scale and proportion.
She will discuss her inspirations from historical pottery and architecture and also talk about Terra Sigillata and the various applications.
The foundation of Candice Methe’s work is the presence of the hand. When coiling and pinching the clay she leaves marks as she builds the forms, which act as a record of intention. Working in this way makes the process slow and allows her to spend time considering how the anatomy of the vessel comes to life through line, form, and surface. With every piece, she strives for subtle, soft surfaces and the deliberate execution of shapes that move between discreet profiles and dramatic contours.
