Another popular workshop which is most often produced in a 3-day, Hands-on format  is
'The Essential Pots: Plate, Bowl, Cup.'  
Participants learn and practice a host of new  techniques as they design, throw or hand build, decorate and finish one of these essential  forms each day. 

Special Subject Workshops
There are special-subject workshops also available. These workshops can be produced in either a Hands-on or All-Demo format and are often subjects for annual 'return opportunities' for  participants and clay studios: 'Pots that Pour', 'Tableware', 'Kitchen Pots', and 'Glazing Techniques'.
