As a traditional pottery form, face jugs have a long history, from pre-Columbian America, ancient Greece, and medieval Europe, as well as Africa. The distinctive face jugs of the American south originated in the early 1800s, developed from African art forms, and served multiple purposes from practical (carrying water or other liquids) to spiritual (serving as grave markers) to self-identification. In this class, you will carry on this tradition by creating your own distinctive face vessel using pre-made wheel-thrown mug forms. No prior experience is needed in working with clay. We will have a glazing session on Sunday August 30th.
