Come see how Ben brings embossed texture and movement to his stretched, spatial, wheel-thrown forms during this demonstration-based weekend workshop.
Participants will hear about Ben's influences and past processes via an introductory artist's talk before diving into a range of live-thrown pots for you to see in person.
He'll cover handles, spouts, altering big, round forms, and introduce you to his "leather-lite" phase of working with a freshly thrown pot.
Come with a curiosity for "poofy" pots, and leave with a new cluster of ideas and techniques to try in your studio.

An amazing weekend in the heart of beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida.
Join like-minded creatives and spend quality time with Ben Eberle, hailing from Conway, Massachusetts.
Demo based workshop.

My journey in ceramics spans 30 years now. During this time, I've had many influences, tremendous teachers, supportive family and friends, and an incredible array of connections within the ceramic art community. I feel tremendously grateful for everything that this collection of experiences has brought me, especially as I branch out and broaden my studio practice.

Bring a notebook to keep up with all of the tips and tricks Ben will share!
Lodging is available on the 2nd floor of the Morean Workshop Space featuring private sleeping quarters, shared restrooms, large-communal kitchen and plenty of space to spread out!
