Chinese Carving Workshop w/Tiffany Saw

Join us for a special carving workshop with our very own Tiffany Saw! In this class, students will learn traditional Chinese shadow carving, a technique that Tiffany honed during her time in Jingdezhen. Tiffany will show classic motifs, demonstrate the techniques, and  share information on her favorite carving tools with the class. She will also have some specialty tools to sell from Jingdezhen! 

Tiffany will prepare leather-hard pots for students to practice carving on. Students may fire any finished carved pieces at Gasworks at 4 cents per cubic inch (cone 10 with celadon or clear glaze over top). 

Tiffany has been working with clay for a over third of her life. She’s inspired everyday by Gasworks’s community of artists and loves opening a glaze kiln and seeing everyone’s finished pieces for the first time. Her own work is decorated in intricate carvings of flora and fauna—though she’s had to switch from making oversized vases to teapots and tumblers after running out of room in her Brooklyn apartment. Alongside teaching, Tiffany is also the Assistant Manager at Gasworks.
