Tom Turner 2-Day Demo Workshop
April 14 & 15, 2012
Standard Ceramic Complex, Carnegie, PA

Tom Turner will begin this two-day workshop with a photo presentation of his work, showcasing his extensive experience in pottery, glazes, and kilns.  He will present a discussion about his specialized work in porcelain and engage participants through questions and answers about their own work.  Tom will demonstrate the porcelain techniques of wedging, kneading, throwing, and designing.  On the second day of the workshop, he will continue with demonstrations of trimming and decorative techniques and simple glaze testing, before he concludes with an overview of firing.
