CERAMICS WORKSHOP

“IT DOESN´T HAVE TO STAY ROUND”

NEW!

A two day discussion of alternative ways to modify wheel-based clay forms, using hand-building techniques to create form and texture. Demonstrations will include on- and off-wheel fluting and faceting, square and oval forms (including lids), darting, and stamping as pathways to created works that reflect the hand of the maker rather than the limits of the forming tool (the potter´s wheel). Forms and functions based on tea bowls, lidded jars, pitchers, and teapots will be included in the sharing. While the base forms will start on the wheel, options for hand builders will be a major part of the dialog.

A progressive drawing class focused on teenage artists of all levels and an excellent choice for high school AP Studio & Portfolio Preparation students who need to develop their work, focus their skills and are looking to experiment in their portfolios. It is highly recommended for junior and senior high school students. Students work in a project-based format to create 3 & 4 dimensional drawings!

We will work large (18x24), initially in graphite/ charcoal (vine & compressed) to build a good understanding of value, then we move onto color. Classes are progressive, students can join at any time, and each successive session builds upon the last. See www.spruillarts.org for a list of supplies you will need to bring to class.
