Pattern Bar Workshop

This weekend was two days packed full of pattern bars in a workshop I facilitated at Wired Designs Studio. We started Saturday with the traditional Roman pattern bar and then dove into totem pole, bookend and progressive pattens. Here is a little taste of what that looked like

Being cut on the saw - Day 2

Using the pattern bars we had just sliced and washed we stated work on projects using these fabulous elements as key design components. By the end of day two there was work back in the kilns ready for firing number two.
