Presented by Heather Dynes Smit
Heather is recognized for her soft-slab hand-built forms that are both sculptural and functional in design. The workshops guided participants to explore soft slab hand-building construction process and technique. Through demos and open discussion on form and function, participants learned how sculptural form, function and simplicity can exist in everyday utilitarian objects. The workshop covered cover basic tool and template design for making multiple forms with a focus on drinking and pouring vessels.
