Playing with Paperclay

Playing with Paperclay
Paperclay is a forgiving material that has been widely used by ceramic artists over the years for both functional work and sculpture. In this workshop students will gain basic knowledge of paperclay and its properties.They will learn to prepare and manage their own porcelain paperclay and will also play with colored paperclay. We will experiment with various structural forms and work with handbuilding techniques such as pinching, slab and coil building, slip-trailing, and dipping found objects to create forms. The workshop will include daily demonstrations, discussions of contemporary artworks, and individual meetings. Electric firing. Basic handbuilding skills will be helpful, but this workshop is open to all levels. Lower clay studio.
