Join this all levels class as we examine a variety of surface decoration techniques such as using colored clays, staines, glazes, image transfers, and different forms of application. We will construct both hand built and wheel thrown vessels and sculpture with a focus on finishing. No clay experience need just a desire to explore and create.

David Gamber - Artist Bio

Like many clay artist my journey started in the sand boxes and mud puddles of my youth, playing with dirt. I have continued to cultivate that sense of play throughout out my education and development as an Artist. I began playing with clay as a teenager, embracing it as my life's work soon after my first ceramics course at Goshen College. Goshen was followed by a year at the University of Louisville and an MFA from Tyler School of Art of Temple University.

Currently I am teaching a various locations in Southern New Jersey and exhibiting work both regionally and nationally. I have been the ceramics teacher at Moorestown Friends School for the past 10 years. And I have been teaching at Perkins Center for the Arts for over 15 years.
