Special Guest: Noel Bailey

We are delighted to have Noel Bailey present for us! Join us for HRP's next Zoom meeting Tuesday, February 4th at 7:30pm. The meeting will open at 7:20 and the demo will start at 7:30.

Join for multiple demonstrations on leather hard in-process mugs of Noel's methods:

• Trimming an undulating rim just above the foot rim for a "floating wall" effect.
• Darting to create visual handle "launch points" and negative space for better ergonomics.
• Handbuilding handles and the attachment thereof.
• Time permitting, a quick studio tour with an emphasis on material and process workflow.

Noel Bailey is a potter, teacher, and student - raising, working, practicing, and playing in Vermont’s Mad River Valley.

Born and raised in Southwest Colorado, Noel is enchanted by vibrant landscapes through the continual pursuit of gorgeous lines and hydrologic idiosyncrasies. He has a M.F.A. from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and a B.A. in Art Education from the University of Northern Colorado. He spent 4 summers with renowned makers and workshop presenters at Laloba Ranch Clay Center in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. A hometown, years-long apprenticeship with Potter Bill Wilson and a rad high school clay program fostered an indelible love of the pursuit of ceramics.
