Join us for 6 sessions over 6 weeks and learn Hand Building!
Are you interested in enhancing your clay sculpture skills? Come join us for a 5 session class where you will build a medium-sized, solid form sculpture. You will learn basic building and shaping techniques, how to hollow out a solid-form and reassemble it, and how to add details to your piece. Instruction will focus on animal forms, but abstract pieces are welcome too.
Requirements:
This is an intermediate-level workshop, basic handbuilding skills are required (minimum one 6 week hand building class with VCS or equivalent). Participants should have experience with properly and securely joining clay parts (score, slip, blend), pinch & coil building, and manipulating clay into basic forms by hand.
Objectives:
Learn how to make a medium sized sculpture using the solid-form, hollowed-out method. Understand building techniques, time/moisture sensitivity of steps, thickness consistency to avoid cracking, rejoining pieces after hollowing, decorative techniques
Outcome:
Make one medium sized (max 1ft cubed) sculpture
Dates:
Oct 31 - Dec 5 (gap Nov 28) 5 Sessions. Time: 600pm - 830pm
