Face Jug Residencies in Schools with Artist David Gould

Face Jug residencies with David Gould have become a favorite for students in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System.  Each student learns the history and significance of this art form in NC ceramic history.  These residencies allow art students to work with David Gould in designing their pot for creating face jugs. Then once David throws the form the student has designed, students add sculpture and fired “teeth”,  bringing their plan to reality. These workshops give students an opportunity to learn the way a potter works, how minor changes in form can make a big difference in the final face, and understand that working collaboratively can be a very positive experience.
