Kevin Crowe: Taking Risks
    The workshop will focus on exploring  forms we have kept at arm’s length that we see just at the wheel’s edge. Perhaps scale, fear of failure or a lack of confidence have formed a block holding us back It has always amazed me how a nuanced tweek of our habits can turn an ok pot to one that sings. 
    Each participant should bring a pot that has inspired and a poem(any poem) to share. Sense of humor is required 
Workshop is Saturday, July 12, from 9:00am to 5:00 pm and Sunday, July 13, from 9:00am to 5:00 pm.

 

 

Instructor: Kevin Crowe

Kevin Crowe works in the Blue Ridge foothills, where he lives with his wife Linda. His sons Bram and Kai also live in Nelson County.

Kevin produces wood-fired functional stoneware with strong Asian and English roots. His work ranges from 4” tea bowls to 48” vases.     

Kevin’s pots are fired in a 450 cubic foot anagama. Firings last 7 days, consuming 8 cords of wood and firing 1500 to 2000 pots. The kiln is fired twice a year when the moon is right and it’s not soccer season.
