Covered Pots
Casseroles, Tureens and Lidded Jars

Sarah Jaeger

Course Description

This will be a fast paced two day workshop, with both demonstrations and time for participants to make pots,
focusing on pots with lids: casseroles, tureens and covered jars. I will show techniques for making different kinds of lids, and will discuss function and aesthetics of various choices. Each morning will begin with a demonstration. On day 1, I will make the parts for various pots, and on day 2, I will assemble the parts. Each afternoon, workshop participants will have a chance to try their hand. Day 2 will conclude with a demonstration and discussion of my glazing techniques.

One bag of clay included with firing, glaze and 2 weeks of open studio.
