Pinched in a Cinch!  A demo by  Didem Mert


Friday, 7th June: Meet & Greet, 6:30pm. Location TBA

Saturday & Sunday, 8 - 9 June: Demo Workshop 10 - 4:30pm
Virginia Wesleyan University


Didem will be demonstrating slab, pinch, and coil techniques, with minimal wheel-work and sharing her techniques using bisque molds and soft slabs to pinch from while using a handful of tricks to make pinched work without the typical hand and wrist strain that can often occur when using these processes. She will make her signature oval bowl,  mug, several types of handles, berry basket/bowl, plates, and so much more, along with sharing how to use homemade surfacing materials in conjunction with commercial products.
Flying in from San Francisco - she doesn’t give many workshop so this is a coup for us.
