SUMMARY:Free AIR Demo - Anne Swinton - Clay
DESCRIPTION:Come down to the Cove at Fivesparks to chat with clay artist Anne Swinton.  Watch her work magic with clay and fall in love with the end product of her handwork.  \nSaturday\, 2:00-4:00PM \nI’ve had an appreciation of clay since graduating college and taking wheel throwing classes. My artistic awakening\, however\, only started 6 years ago when I began hand-building. Since then\, I’ve grown as a creator and continue to learn more about the possibilities of this exciting medium. I am a slow ceramicist\, and I like it that way! Hand-building allows me to spend more time with each piece – gradually building it to its final form\, then refining with careful attention to the lines and textures.
