Instructor: Dr. Tim McClendon is no stranger to academia, having taught at Emory University in Canon Law and History. He had been an avid potter until a recent accident, and his works have been displayed and shown in a number of museums and galleries. As a native of Edgefield, his familiarity with Edgefield/Aiken Stoneware production is quite extensive. Description: In this class you will learn the importance of Edgefield Stoneware Manufacturing through firsthand experience in identifying the distinctives of Edgefield Stoneware, the manufacturing process, and the social implications of slave produced pottery and the life of David Drake, i.e., “Dave the Potter.” Dr. McClendon’s family began the first Edgefield Pottery Museum, and his family still owns the original 105 ft kiln site of Pottersville north of Edgefield. A field trip is a possibility for this 4-session class.
