Kenneth Bichell applied for a Dupaco membership grant to develop his joinery skills. Ken has been a professional potter for over 40 years. He already has basic woodworking skills, and wants to build attractive displays for displaying his pottery. Ken makes unique Japanese style tea bowls. These are traditionally displayed in handcrafted wooden boxes with unique joinery. Ken also wants to use new woodworking skills he will learn at Key City Creative Center to construct display pedestals and tables. He also wants to build a pottery display suitable for traveling to exhibitions and shows. He has exhibited his potter in galleries and would like to go to craft fairs. The portable display would make that possible. He holds an annual gathering of Potters to fire a wood kiln. Artists come from as far away as California to participate in this ten-day event. Ken would gladly share his skills in throwing and hand building pottery with KCCC members.
