A two-day pottery demo workshop will take place at McHenry County College from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 14 and 15 in the college’s conference center, 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake.
The pottery workshop will feature Robin Hopper, an internationally known potter, teacher, author, garden designer and arts activist. In 1977, he relocated to Victoria, B.C., Canada, and became the first recipient of the Bronfman Award, Canada’s most prestigious annual award in the crafts. He will demonstrate how to make pots for eating, drinking, cooking, storing and serving. The focus will be on wheel-thrown pottery and its design and decoration by combining functional and one-of-a-kind wheel work, assemblage and finishing.
The event is co-sponsored by McHenry County College’s Conference Center and Art Department, the Clayworkers’ Guild of Illinois and Great Lakes Clay.
Cost is $125 for both days and $115 for MCC students and Clayworkers’ Guild members; cost is $70 for one day only and $65 for MCC students and Clayworkers’ Guild members. The fee includes lunch. A $25 fee will be added for registering at the door.
