Instructor: Tim See

Skill Level: All skill levels

Join us for an entertaining and educational two-day demonstration workshop with Tim See. From inspiration and design to making and finishing, join Tim on an exploration of the oil can and other industrial forms. Covering processes like throwing creatively, spout pulling, and complicated surface treatments, nothing will be left out. The discussion will focus on the whys of what he does as much as the hows. If you don’t like dirty worn surfaces, the processes can transfer over to many styles and ways of working.

Tim will cover: Centering, throwing off the hump, throwing lids and flanges, enclosed forms, trimming, extruding, press molding parts, slip trailing, underglazing, Sgraffito, assembly and attachments, staining, decals, lustering, wet sanding and polishing.

About the Instructor:

I am a ceramic artist born in Syracuse, New York in 1979. I have lived in the Greater Syracuse area, commonly known as Central New York, all of my life. I began working in clay while an art student at Onondaga Community College and completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics with Honors at Syracuse University in 2004.

My work has been shown at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C, the Everson Museum in Syracuse, NY, the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY,  and, at Baltimore Clayworks in Maryland  – as well as many other galleries and shows. The work has been recognized with awards every year since 2003.

I have taught beginning, intermediate and advanced pottery to adults in a community-based ceramics studio at Clayscapes Pottery, Inc. since 2006. I also have taught children and teens at the elementary, middle and high school levels in workshops, as a visiting artist, and, in year-long after school programs. I have really enjoyed traveling throughout the northeast engaging potters in half-day, full-day and multi-day workshops tailored to their unique goals.

As a founding member of the Independent Potters Association, I work collaboratively with fellow artists to organize and implement several charitable events each year as well as group exhibitions. I help organize group shows, an art trail and a high school ceramics competition annually as well.

Social media have provided me many platforms to communicate with more than 11,000 potters  nationally and internationally. Since 2007, I have produced 92 educational videos on pottery that have been viewed almost 2 million times and attracted more that 13,000 subscribers.
