Studio Touya: Hitomi Shibata & Takuro Shibata
Trolley Rides: Guided Tours in Slab Plates and Brushwork
Why walk when you can take the state fair trolley to the front gates? The same can be said for learning new and exciting construction and decorating techniques for your pottery! Take a ride with the dynamic duo, Hitomi Shibata and Takuro Shibata, of Studio Touya in this hands-on workshop where you’ll be using natural and locally-sourced clay as slips to explore the art of slab work. Ride along with guided examples on preparing slabs and creating plates as big as funnel cakes. By the end of this trip, you’ll receive directions on selecting and testing the local materials for your project, develop skilled brushwork techniques, and be safely delivered to the main gates and ready for what a weekend at APF has to offer! All levels welcome!
