Course description:
This advanced course is designed for students that have strong fundamentals on the pottery wheel. They should be experienced in all forms, ie… Cylinders, bowls, flatware and lidded vessels.
This course concentrates on a more one on one discussion of the student’s artistic expression through clay. We will focus on developing a personal aesthetic in their work through form and decoration. Students taking this course should be starting to develop a language in their pots and want to explore new techniques to enhance that vision. Students are encouraged to personally purchase their own underglazes and glazes to best create their artistic vision.

Instructor:
Jodi Beazley
Born, raised, and educated in Halifax, N.S., Jodi earned BA and Art Education Degrees at NSCAD and later returned to work on her Masters in Art Education.
Since 1990, Jodi has taught Art and Pottery in public schools and community centres. While living in B.C. for the last 18 years, she ran a private pottery school and sold her pieces in galleries throughout the province.
Her love of cooking and entertaining has evolved in her large functional tableware which welcomes ”gatherings” at her table. The surface relief carving and glazing reflects the ebb and flow of the East Coast Ocean.
Jodi feels that teaching and making inform one another. Jodi’s relationships and interactions with her students revives her enthusiasm for her own work, which is then shared back to the students.
Jodi recently returned home to Nova Scotia and is excited to re-establish her studio.
