New Hampshire artist and educator, Chris Archer, will lead an exploration focused on finding one’s creative voice in the process of designing and making whether you use the wheel, are a hand-builder, or combine techniques. Chris will share his methodology of developing ideas through creative play exercises and strategies to create thoughtful, complex, and engaging forms. Pushing beyond the familiar, students will learn and try various innovative techniques paired with a design approach in which various components of material and process inform each other more effectively and pave the way for more personal and mature work.
