Randy Brodnax Pottery Workshop


Class Experience

“Clay at the Oaks”

Part of the GAEDA Education Series & the 10th Annual Dirty South Cup Call
April 17-18
10:30 am - 4 pm

$95 

Day 1 - Wheel Demos and Collaborations
Day 2 - Alternative Firing Demos   

Come join us for a two-day, hands-on pottery experience as the master of clay entertainment, Randy Brodnax, presents at River Oaks Square Arts Center. This workshop will focus on wheel-thrown forms, surface manipulation and alternative firing techniques. Randy will give demonstrations each day along with helping students learn to throw larger more decorative forms, draw in the wet clay, glaze decoration and unique firing methods. Students will work on both wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques right alongside the clay rockstar himself!

Workshop Presenter & Guest Juror: Randy Brodnax

Randy Brodnax, a life-long potter, educator and master ceramicist creates everything from functional dinnerware to large decorative vessels to clay sculpture. A Louisiana native, Randy has retained much of the Cajun joie de vivre with which he was raised, and has spent a career building bridges among clay artists of all levels of experience. In workshops, Randy entertains as he shares his knowledge with participants, and helps individuals seeking a refined focus, new direction, or simply camaraderie among clay artists. He is known for his innovative Raku firing techniques.  His work has been featured in numerous galleries, art shows and clay conferences across the U.S.  We are excited to have this legendary potter back at the arts center for this year's 10th Annual Dirty South Cup Call & Competition.

No refunds after March 15.
