ADDITIONALLY!⁠
Join Teabowl National 2025 juror, Meredith Host for a two day hands-on surface decorating workshop.⁠
⁠
This hands-on surface decorating workshop will explore using screen-printing techniques, stencils, and transfers with underglaze in the leather hard stage. We will practice complicating the surface and building layers of information. Focusing on expanding our visual vocabulary and creating custom color palettes will allow us to produce work with dynamic, complex surfaces. We will be using mid-range clay, but these methods and techniques apply to all types of clays and firing temperatures.⁠
⁠
Materials are supplied with support from AMACO.⁠
⁠
October 4 and 5, 10-4 each day with a break for lunch at noon.⁠

Featured Artist: Tori Miener⁠
This body of work is an exploration of organic forms, both functional and sculptural. In each piece, the idea of the vessel becomes abstracted. The forms are less about functionality and more about the experience of interaction with the materials during the creative process. My interest in this relationship continues after the work is finished by enticing people to touch and handle the objects. These unusual forms of both natural and manmade materials are intended to capture biomorphism, a concept dominant in this series. This theme discusses memory, positive vs. negative, how those memories can alter or deteriorate over time, and how we relate to each other's memories. ⁠
In this body of work titled: “Reminiscence” my inspirations for these forms derive from landscapes I explored in East Asia, Sicily, the Midwest, and the deserts of Arizona. The textures consist largely of found objects discovered during my travels.These works, including the sculptures, are intended to be touched, handled and experienced,so as to intrigue not just the eyes but the hands as well. Textures are applied with special found objects; nuts, necklaces, shells, bolts, screws and more. These objects, now tools, are mementos that I encounter in my daily life, relics that have become a crucial part of the making process. Used as stamps: they are pressed, stabbed, or slashed into the clay to create a fossilized memory of the object, an echo of one’s own consciousness and past impressions. ⁠
This unwavering interest in biomorphism has stirred those I’m close with to seek out found objects and contribute to my creative process. These donated collaborations become very significant for me personally and further drive home the warmth I seek to convey. This body of work is a realization of more than sharing a tangible form of my memories and experiences. My intent is to promote independent, unconventional thinking and to convey the value of nature, the rewards of spontaneity and the joys of rejecting the status quo. ⁠
