Students will learn how to center, open, and pull up clay in order to create bowls, cups, and plates. Surface decoration, glazing, and hand-building projects also will be explored. The class will build upon skills achieved by introducing techniques for working on the potter’s wheel, for those with some pottery experience. This course may be repeated.

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.
