June 22-26, 2026 Welcome Dinner Sunday, June 21, 6:00 PM Daily 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Limited to 6 participants · Intermediate to Advanced
Tony Clennell and Andrew Kellner have been in active dialogue for decades. Both artists work with a deep sensitivity to process, material intelligence, and a rare directness with clay. This five-day immersion brings them together in the studio for the first time as co-instructors.
The focus of the workshop is on slowing down — working with softer clay, heightened attention, and a genuine celebration of process. Participants will explore the cup, jug, jar, bowl, plate, and teapot.
Each day includes demonstrations, time for making, and an end-of-day group discussion. Some of the most valuable conversations often happen outside the studio, in the garden or around the breakfast table.
This workshop is intended for intermediate to advanced makers who want to engage more seriously with their work - to make bold decisions, question assumptions, and create pots that hold presence, intention, and their own voice.
