Tony Clennell Workshop: Making an Impression

The workshop will focus on larger than life utilitarian pottery for occasional use. We will pay attention to the details on larger than life casseroles, pitchers, bowls and plates so they may be used for celebration and presentation.

My specialty over the years has been sectional or composite throwing where I add many pieces together to make one vessel. Students that normally cannot throw more than a few pounds of clay often throw with ease 3-5 times as much after the session.

Recent work has been an exploration of textures using roulettes, stamps and many found objects. The maker’s marks and details of process are what I am interested in leaving in the finished work.

My return to graduate school at Utah State University has opened up new thoughts, new tricks and new insights into making work that expresses the character of the maker. – Tony Clennell
