Polo Ramirez Workshop

Two Day WorkshopDates: Saturday and Sunday, May 25 & 26, 2024, 2 PM till 6 PM both days
All levels Welcome! In this two-day workshop Polo Ramires will present to the group a paddle technique which dates back to Pre-Inca times. As in the traditional way, I use my hands and feet to create pieces. The materials and tools are simple. ​I use clay and rustic tools such as rounded rocks and wooden paddles. I do not start my work with an image in mind. As I begin to work on a piece, the shape emerges. I allow the clay, the earth, to speak to me. In this workshop, I will demonstrate how to make a vase and a bird whistle; however, due to time limitations, the students will be able to begin just a vase. The usual time to complete a vase is at least one week. I will bring some of my own pieces indifferent stages of completion so that students can see the full process in just these 2 days.
