The Making of Warrior Women: 2 Day Workshop

Join us for an exclusive workshop exploring the techniques and creative process behind Alice Woodruff’s renowned 100 Warriors series. Open to all potters and clay sculptors—both hand-builders and throwers—this workshop offers a deep dive into figurative ceramic sculpture.

Alice will guide participants through her entire process, from initial concept and sketching to assembling sculptural elements like arms and hands. Each piece begins as two wheel-thrown vessels that are seamlessly joined to form a larger structure, echoing the strength and grace of the female form. With the addition of limbs and intricate sculptural details, these vessels come to life, telling powerful visual stories.

“This was my second class with Katheryne because I loved the first one so much. She was very patient and answered all my questions. She took the time to show me. The projects were fun and I learned from them about various techniques.”

“I have been taking both Martha’s and Lora’s Virtual Class and I have been so grateful and delighted that you have offered these opportunities. Both teachers have been so very inspiring, I have learned new skills, ways of glazing, shapes, textures and more, it made it possible for me to stay in touch with my fellow friends and potters and is a highlight in an otherwise not so cheerful time. I really appreciate all the many extra steps necessary to make this work, and I can say gladly, that it worked extremely well. What resourceful instructors! How flexible everyone is! Amazing. And well worth the personal challenges- clay, porcelain all over my house and garden- I don’t have a studio room- and an internet provider that freezes the Zoom program from time to time. And yet- a wonderful experience! Thank you!”
