Carving with Confidence

$330.00

Weekend Workshop with Diana Adams of SampleHAUS
May 30 - May 31 (10 a.m. - 4 p.m.)

Carving into your pottery can feel intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be! It’s time to push past the fear and unlock your creative potential in this immersive Carving with Confidence workshop led by Diana from SampleHAUS.

Whether you're a beginner eager to add texture to your pieces or a seasoned artist looking to refine your techniques, this workshop will give you the skills and confidence to carve like a pro. Over the course of two days, you'll throw basic shapes—cylinders, cups, and bottles—to practice on while exploring the nuances of wall thickness and surface preparation for carving. Diana will guide you through pattern development, showing how designs transform across different forms. You'll also get hands-on experience with Buschkraft and DiamondCore carving tools, learn the art of dividing your pottery for pattern carving, and discover how to bring out your unique artistic voice through the quality of your lines.

From simple textures to intricate designs, you'll leave with the confidence and techniques to create beautifully carved pottery that reflects your personal style. Join us and take your carving skills to the next level!
