This class will focus on the rituals of every day eating and the making of hand built works to meld the experience. The context of discussions will include exploring your own history of food and passion for dumplings, from appetizer to dessert! We will have one (optional) field trip. Students will be encouraged to have fun with topics related to eating, dumplings, and growing while creating hand built, functional and sculptural works for their own use. Beginners welcome!
