"Throwing with Purpose" Danny Meisinger 3-Day Workshop - June 26, 27, & 28, 2026
Workshop Details:
Join Danny Meisinger, of Spinning Earth Pottery, for a 3-day, hands on ceramics workshop. Presented by Tameria Martinez Clay, in partnership with the Artspiration Frederick, Ceramics Lab.
Statement from the Artist
"Instruction will focus primarily on skills and an understanding of the medium, with an attention to form as it may or may not relate to function. I want students to understand what is happening between their hands, along with what is happening on a molecular level, and to convey this without a lot of technical jargon. I teach beginners sitting next to advanced potters and enjoy bringing everyone along using archetypal and metaphorical images."
Age & Skill Level
16+ and open to all levels of wheel-throwing experience; beginner - advanced.
