This is a rare opportunity to learn to throw pots on the wheel with Kristi K Downing at her private studio on the beautiful shores of Lake Superior, where natural beauty imbues your creative spirit and soul. Kristi has been potting for 50 years, is a North House Folk School raku instructor, and was featured on two Twin Cities TV specials. Her work has been featured in books, magazines and newspaper articles. She is a host artist on Crossing Borders Art Studio tour. This intensive two-day course for one or two adults will focus on beginning throwing techniques, as well as refining existing throwing skills. Since the emphasis will be on learning to throw, you may not end up with many bisque "keepables," but you should have a few pots that you can use for Kristi's "Raku Pottery Experience" NHFS classes.
