This shape is so beautiful that you will want to create one of each: a bird feeder, herbal pot and vase. For this workshop, you will have to choose just one.
Techniques learned in hollow form construction, 3 dimensional applications, relief carving, stamping and drawing onto the clay form. These are fairly large. Dimensions are approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.
