September 19–21
You will begin with basic pinch pot techniques and will progress through traditional and experimental forms in this fast-paced and fun class. Various surface treatments will be explored, including organic material, chemical treatments, terra sigilatta, and masking. Work will be fired overnight in a sawdust firing. Other alternative firing methods may be explored as interest and time allow. You are encouraged to bring 3 to 5 bisque-fired pieces.
Becky Keck began her studies in art at Edinboro University in the 1980s and completed her BA in fine arts at Waynesburg University. She teaches privately and is a frequent regional demonstrator. Her approach to teaching combines the historical uses of clay in the southwestern Pennsylvania region with a more modern sculptural approach to pottery. Becky is the curriculum coordinator for the Washington Community Arts and Cultural Center in Washington, Pennsylvania, and a juried member of the Pittsburgh Society of Artists.

Students are welcome to work in
studios after the posted workshop hours as long as the instructor or
appointed staff member is present. Unfortunately, due to liability
risks, students are not permitted to work in the studios without one of
these forms of supervision. While staff members and instructors will
often be found in the studio during evening hours helping students, they
are not obligated to be present after the posted workshop hours.
Students are also encouraged to participate in evening activities such
as studio demonstrations and the Thursday evening auction. Touchstone
asks that all students respect the campus-wide quiet time of 11:00 p.m.
