So many golden nuggets just casually tossed up Sunshine at this workshop.
I'm easily mesmerized by coil building. It may be a basic technique, but it's one that I've never really put the appropriate time necessary in to get comfortable with.
Totally my loss because the surfaces that seem to grow from this technique are rich and full of life. The surfaces and forms that Sunshine achieves using her approach to this process is unique and alluring, making the point that a confident hand leaves a very deliberate feel to the finished work.
Thank you Sunshine!

Great to see the before and after.
I like the surfaces I get with coil and slab building, you just can't achieve the same look on the wheel. I love this form, may have to give one a go! Wish I could have been there!
Thanks for sharing. Definitely true about what happens with the handbuilding process.
love the blue orange combo there, sounds like a fun workshop. the list in the previous post is great, i'll have to come back and study it
Another great UOP workshop.
Wish I could have returnd for Day 2. I was hoping to see drilling and sandblasting. I loved watching her coiling, paddling and flipping techniques.
Good to see you. Thank you for spreading the word about Sunshine's workshop.
I so wanted to come but didn't hear about it in time to change my other plans:( Thanks for putting some images up!
I'm going to a Simshine Cobb workshop in July. I believe she fires her own work to cone 1, but what clay does she use in hands-on workshops? Cone 1 clay isn't readily available.
I emailed Sunshine and she replied that the workshop sponsor is responsible for the type of clay used.
