Emphasis will be given to asymmetry, stamping, and dynamic attachments. You will learn how to alter at different stages, from wet to bone dry, as well as creating composition, and a unified surface. Participants will be required to have a basic knowledge of throwing, as well as a willingness to alter out of round.
