On Saturday, July 8, 2023 Bay Area based figurative sculptor Michelle Gregor came to sfclayworks and held a workshop for our members. Many of our members had never met Michelle before so they had an opportunity to meet her, see her work, and learn more about her working methods. Michelle demonstrated the coil build method that she uses for her amazing work. As most of our members are predominantly potters, it was nice to observe and learn new ways we can connect with clay. Below are a few images from the workshop. sfclayworks provided this workshop free to studio members which is an added bonus of studio membership at sfclayworks.
