5-Day Workshop
May 28-June 1
Monday-Friday 9:30 am-4:30 pm

As humans, we all develop our own personal mythologies. These help us relate to each other and to the world around us. We create our own history filled with characters that enchant or revile us, inspire us to seek higher purpose, or serve as reflections of our own experience. We find meaning in their anecdotal wanderings, adventures, and tragedies. Their stories become parables in our own lives, offering us laws to abide by, bend, or even break. In this way, we are able to uncover more of our own truth.

As ceramists, we are also inspired by and connected to the potters who came before us. In this workshop, we will examine the construction methods of several masterpieces of classical pottery from the Greek, Chinese, and Peruvian traditions. We will first analyze and discuss the way these pieces reflect the culture that created them. Then, we will focus on decorating them with images representing modern or contemporary myths, both personal and communal. Techniques taught in this workshop will include team throwing, assembling large pots in sections, stamping and stenciling, sgraffito and mishima, and digital projector image transfer.

Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Tuition: $595 + $75 Lab Fee

Isis Music Hall welcomes House of Hamill, featuring Brian Buchanan of Enter the Haggis and Rose Baldino of Burning Bridget Cleary.

Their music has been described as “Radiohead meets Riverdance”; Celtic-inspired, exciting, eclectic and unpredictable. House of Hamill’s music occupies a space between sophisticated indie/pop and traditional Irish music.
House of Hamill Band bio:

Rose Baldino and Brian Buchanan met 10 years ago, late one night backstage at a theatre in rural Pennsylvania.

Brian’s band Enter the Haggis and Rose’s group Burning Bridget Cleary were sharing a stage that evening, and the two bonded over a love of Irish fiddle tunes, Radiohead, and 4 AM whiskey. Their paths crossed a dozen times over the next decade on the road, but it wasn’t until the Folk Alliance 2014 conference in Kansas City that they finally became musical collaborators.

Burning Bridget Cleary’s guitarist and drummer had their flights canceled at the last minute, and Rose (in desperation) asked Brian to grab a guitar and join her onstage. The two performed with virtually no rehearsal for over an hour, and their connection was powerful and immediate. A few months later Brian moved from Canada to Philadelphia, and as a tribute to the first tune Rose ever taught Brian, House of Hamill was born.
Both Baldino and Buchanan are accomplished traditional fiddle players and classical violinists, with over 25 years of writing and performance experience between them. Together, they write unusual new fiddle tunes and exciting, unpredictable original songs while breathing new life into traditional and contemporary songs. Both are confident and unique lead vocalists, and the blend of their two voices in harmony is hypnotic and irresistible.

Whether House of Hamill is playing songs from their debut album “Wide Awake” or stomping through a set of original jigs and reels, their chemistry onstage is always engaging and often hilarious. You’ll leave with tired feet, a huge smile, and a new appreciation for the versatility of folk instruments in a modern context. House of Hamill is on the bleeding edge of a new generation of traditional musicians.

“Their songs are always on the edge of traditional and innovation as they clearly enjoy what they play . . . their performances are electrifying”.
– Sarah MacArthur, Highlander Radio
