In honor of this summer’s Olympics… Here is a blast from the past and the London Olympics.
While a few years old, this still totally kills me. I LOVE the commentator (real or not). “There you can hear the Olympic horn being sounded. Signifies there’s only four minutes left in this race. And it’s looking very close and….confusing.”
You really need to watch to the end.

Lexicon is very excited to have Martha Grover coming to our neck of the woods to teach this two day, hands-on workshop.
Participants will work with bottomless wheel-thrown forms and slabs in both the soft and leather-hard stages. Martha will demonstrate various altering techniques and the addition of slabs, handles, and spouts to create an assortment of functional forms. These will include her signature cups, bowls, vases, pitchers, lidded forms, and baskets. Each new form will be demonstrated by Martha then practiced by participants, moving from simpler to more complex construction over the course of the two days.
Martha will also address a range of topics of interest to working and aspiring potters, including crack repair and mending, the use of the spray gun for glaze application, successful studio practices, any special topics requested by the class, and her sources of inspiration and philosophy of making. Participants will gain both technical knowledge and insights into Martha’s development of a successful body of work.

Sat Sept 24 10am – 4pm and Sun Sept 25 10am – 4pm
