Master Potter Workshop - Christa Assad
Anyone who attended the Ron Meyers workshop in May will attest to the value and reward in taking advantage of the opportunities to learn from master potters. The experience was both valuable and a value, as CAG members have the opportunity to attend these workshops at significantly discounted rates.
Another opportunity exists in the October 23rd Master Potter Workshop featuring Berkeley potter, Christa Assad.
The upcoming workshop will appeal to every CAG member, as Christa combines wheel thrown work with slab construction and hand building techniques. Capitalizing on classic forms with rich color and texture, Christa creates original, contemporary vessels that unite artistic form and functional design.
Christa describes her work as primarily utilitarian and a blend of life lessons, incorporating traditional and contemporary ceramic techniques. Her interests in engineering, design and construction have strongly influenced her work. Design and function are underlying, driving factors in her creative process.
Presently a fulltime Berkeley potter, Christa recently returned from a year on the Kansas City Art Institute faculty. She has extensive credentials, with a BA from Pennsylvania State University, a Fulbright Scholarship at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, an MFA from Indiana University and a lengthy history of exhibitions, workshops and teaching experience.
The fee for this workshop is a value at $77, but CAG members qualify for a significantly discounted rate of only $42. Make sure to mark this date on your calendar and enroll in this workshop, as the date is fast approaching and it's an opportunity you don't want to miss.
