 Join Elizabeth Paley on Wednesday, May 7, 1–3pm EDT USA, for a workshop on piercing clay pots. While demonstrating her process, Elizabeth will share strategies for cutting free-hand patterns that create visual interest and maintain structural integrity. She'll work from small tealight holders to large bowls, sharing all of her tips for success along the way.

SKILL LEVEL: Advanced Beginner – Intermediate Throwers (should be comfortable throwing even-walled cylinders). Experienced Handbuilders are also welcome.


Elizabeth will demonstrate how to:
  • Throw and trim forms with even walls for carving
  • Consider the interplay of light and shadow in pierced designs
  • Plan and carve freehand patterns without the need for rigorous measuring
  • Avoid cracks, repair breaks, and minimize warpage
  • Develop successful glazing strategies for pierced forms
  • And much more!
