Class Description

Peter Shrope will introduce and guide participants through the process of creating large-scale work on the potter’s wheel, from assembling smaller components into larger forms to gaining hands-on experience coiling and throwing a very large vessel.

About the Instructor

Peter has a long and rich history in pottery making after studying with master potters Vivika and Otto Heino, and earning an MFA from Penn State. In the 1980s he built a 2 chambered wood fired kiln in New Hampshire, as well as teaching at two colleges. In the 1990s he dug local clay out of his backyard in Baltimore to make sculptural work. He now uses Adirondack rock dust as a glaze ingredient in his original glaze recipes.
