Handles! Can you handle this? 
Handles! You CAN handle this!
In this three hour workshop, self-proclaimed Handle-holic Cat Conner will explore the many facets of handle making, and help you start to develop your own handle philosophy. Through demonstrations and hands-on activities, Cat will take you through the aesthetic, functional, and practical considerations that go into making a great handle. She will cover many different methods of making  and will help you make and attach some handles of your own. This course is best for people with some ceramics experience, but is open to both hand- builders and wheel-workers wishing to refine their skills and expand their knowledge. 

​Participants are encouraged to bring a leather hard pot to attach a handle to, as well as some soft clay to make handles with. 
​If you wish to bring some finished handles for show-and-tell or troubleshooting, this is the class to do it!

      About the Artist

Picture

Originally from the US, Cat Conner’s first clay classes began 20 years ago at her local Craft Guild. She didn’t immediately fall in love with clay, but eventually grew to love it during her university days under the tutelage of her demanding but incredible ceramics professor. Following a study abroad trip to a certain west-coast Australian city, she eventually graduated with a BFA in Fine Art and moved there permanently. Since 2009, Cat has been living and working in Perth, refining her skills and exploring her art.
Cat’s passion is wheel-thrown functional pieces made from smooth porcelain clay, carved and textured, often with sgraffito illustrations. Ever in search of The Perfect Handle TM, she is a huge clay nerd, and has been working and teaching at ClayMake for over a year.
