The public is invited to a closing reception and slide talk with Peter Pinnell on Friday, March 25 from 7-9pm in Gallery W-16.

Pinnell will also hold a workshop from March 25-27 in Building W-8 entitled, Form and Surface for the Potter. The format of the workshop will repeatedly shift from demo and discussion to hand-on participation and back again. This will provide the participants with the opportunity to see a demonstration and then immediately put the information to use. The focus will be on the throwing, altering and surfacing of wet and leather-hard clay objects.  Please call 703-584-2900 or visit http://www.workhousearts.org/ for more information and to register.
