When a potter throws on the potter's wheel the form slowly emerges through a series of small adjustments, unlike drawing, which can quickly find the outline of a form. Bay Area ceramist Erik Scollon will lead you through a meditative drawing exercise, which is akin to the slow finding of form that is used by potters. Join the artist as he discusses ceramic works in the galleries and leads participants through the study of form.
Erik Scollon is an artist, educator and writer based in Oakland. His work has been seen in venues as diverse as art galleries, craft fairs, museum shows, design blogs and gay biker bars. He teaches at California College of the Arts and UC Berkeley, and is represented by Romer Young Gallery in San Francisco.
