Les Manning

Aesthetics of the Ceramic Form:
A Workshop with Les Manning

This intensive 3-day workshop to be held at the Surrey Art Gallery, led by acclaimed Alberta ceramicist Les Manning is designed to concentrate on form, from the minimal nature of a horizontal plate to the abstract quality of a bowl and the vertical character of the vessel, to find distinct statements in edges and volume that bring these three disparate objects into a recognizable family of forms.
