When: Wednesday, May 28, 2025
6:00pm in-person only
Special Guest: Michael Porfido
Join us for our May meeting in person. Bring a dish to share for a 6pm potluck followed by a demo by our very own Michael Porfido at 7pm.
Michael will demonstrate Korean throwing techniques and compare those to American/western throwing styles. I will also be doing a demo on handles.
Michael has been putting his hands in clay since he was 15 years old. This October will mark 50 years in clay. He is still close to his high school Art Teacher who himself was a professional potter and gave him a good foundation. After high school he studied and worked at the Old Church cultural center in Demerest under Mikhail Zakin. While at Old Church, he traveled to Korea where he began an apprenticeship of four years in Icheon. He recently came back from working in Vermont as a production potter. He is back in Hudson Valley, working on his own pottery.
