The Saturday afternoon demonstration at Handbuilt 2013 was by Vince Pitelka. Vince was inspired by mechanical and architectural objects since a very young age. Much of his work is inspired by such objects. A series of pitchers and teapots follow the designs of tin engine oil containers common in the 1920s and 1930s. Captures of projected slides here are from Vince's Friday night introductory presentation.
