I am most interested in working with
people to help them define and explore their own direction.
Workshops, demonstrations and hands-on, are therefore
customized to suit the participants.
I can begin the session with a discussion of the possible
directions we can go, allowing the group to pick and
choose the areas they are interested in exploring. This
selection process can also be defined before the course is advertised.
The length of
the workshop will also determine how much we can get done.
The following is a list of possible topics. I am happy
to answer questions or provide a more detailed outline as needed.

Terra Sigillata--making and using
Mold-making
