Workshops

Paul has taught pottery and done group pottery workshops in Los Gatos for 12 years and is always happy to share his throwing, hand building, sgraffito and firing techniques. His simple logical way of explaining how and why the clay responds to the basic techniques he shares make it easy for students to get immediate results.

Paul is currently leading drum workshops or one-on-one drum making sessions by appointment at the Dharma Ridge Educational Collective in the Santa Cruz mountains.

Pottery workshops or pitfire workshops can be arranged on the west coast in your area or Santa Cruz area. Contact Paul for information.
