4 Week Pottery Party Pack
"Over the past decade, more and more professional artists and amateurs alike have taken up ceramics. Many find that it's an absorbing outlet for creative expression,as well as a gratifying or therapeutic experience. Ceramics have come to be seen as a wellness activity compared by some to doing yoga or meditation researchers have found that working with ceramics has health benefits, like alleviating symptoms of depression. In our digital, screen-obsessed world, the act of producing handmade objects--and the tactile experience of creating scultures fro slabs of clay--is extremely satisfying." --- ARTSY EDITORIAL, CASEY LESSER, JUNE 22ND, 2018
In this fun beginning level course, we will learn to create both functional and sculptural forms using hand-building techniques. We will learn the fundamental of three dimensional design coupled with fundamental clay techniques, slab construction, coil building, and pinching, and use these techniques to create challenging and exciting projects. We will dive into color and exture, as we learn to create surface decoration and apply slips and glazes. Along the way, we will discover ancient and contemporary masters of clay and develop a library of inspiration. Course fee includes the clay, bisque firing, and glaze firing. I will transport your pieces to our kiln and back to you with care and ease. This workshop can be scheduled for groups up to 20 and held at your home, booked for your workplace, held indoors, outdoors, or booked for a public venue.
