| Interview with Cathy Broski | |
| How long have you been doing ceramic work? | I have been doing ceramic work since high school. I graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1990 and have been working with clay professionally in some capacity since. |
| Who or what inspires you? | My inspirations come from many things, from nature to dreams. |
| What is your favorite kind of ceramic work? |
My favorite type of ceramic work has an aspect of surprise. I love when I find an unexpected detail or happy accident on a piece. I am attracted to figurative work especially if there is an oddity about it. I love found objects. The worn surfaces, broken edges, tell a story of it's path in this world. I like the idea of a cast off shard of sculpture or pot that is put behind glass or on a pedestal and made precious again. |
| How long have you been teaching? | My first teaching job was actually a student teaching position in college. I've been teaching at the KC Clay Guild for over 10 years. |
| What skill level do you teach? | I teach all skill levels. |
| Do you teach Wheel Throwing or Hand Building Techniques? | The class is predominately wheel throwing although the majority of my own work is hand built. |
| What can students expect to learn from your class? | Beginning students can expect to learn the basic of wheel throwing w/in the first 4 weeks: Centering, Pulling, Trimming / Footing and Glazing. Students who work through the entire cycle will have finished pots at the end of the 4 weeks. Advanced students are encouraged to bring their own inspirations and I will help them further their abilities. We explore all aspects of the project and problem solve. |
| What kind of atmosphere does your class have? | The class atmosphere is energized by the students. Most students are self motivated and some have been with me for more then 10 years. |
| Is there anything that makes your class special? | This class has a special way of coming together to motivate and encourage others. We have created everything from large scale out door sculptures to sets of daily place settings. |
| Is there anything else you'd like to say to prospective students? | Don't be shy! If you want to learn how to work with clay or to advance your current skills, come on down and have some fun with us! |
