CLAY – FALL CONCENTRATION
SEPTEMBER 29 – NOVEMBER 8, 2024 (6 weeks)
Arm, Leg, Wing
We will start with the human figure and then riff on this form to explore other creatures. Using standard handbuilding methods, we will work mainly hollow and in parts (if you know how a teapot is made, that will be helpful),. Techniques may include carving, re-sectioning, scraping, seams, slashing, using paperclay to control shrinking, slips, stains, resists, fusing parts with glaze, re-firing, repairs, etc. Students can expect to complete three or four medium-sized (10-20 inch) pieces plus some smaller works, maquettes, and studies. Some goals for the workshop are surprising yourself, maximizing individual expression, working with one’s inner nerd, and not being too attached to a standard. Firing will mostly be electric. All levels. Lower clay studio.
