This class offers students the opportunity to learn and be involved in the entire ceramic process—from mixing clays and glazes to firing the experimental natural gas kiln. The claybody will be the main emphasis in this class; development of experimental claybodies will be encouraged by combining a variety of familiar, industrially produced clays with locally sourced clays, sands, minerals and organic fillers. Glazing will be simple interior liner glazes and work will be raw glazed and once-fired to cone 10 reduction. The first half of the class will focus on testing, with the later half dedicated to finalizing a “clay palette”. All claybodies will be mixed together as a class and no commercial clays will be used. Claybodies will be sold to students by the pound. Prerequisites: Students should have a strong foundation in either wheelthrowing or handbuilidng. Students will also be responsible for mixing their own claybodies and glazes, and be required to assist with the firing of the high fire kilns. See *CERAMIC NOTE.

8080 | Cartooning, Comics, Caricature & Anime Mike Fisher

Cartooning, or visual storytelling, is more than just an enjoyable indulgence of the imagination; it speaks to interests such as editorial illustration, children’s book illustration, comic strips, comic books, and storyboarding. Its various forms combine caricature, figure drawing, and illustration through the medium of ink and watercolor on paper. Instruction will focus on character development, illusions of movement, sequential staging, setting management, inking, and coloring—all aimed towards the refinement of the student’s narratives and ideas. Bring a 9- by 12-inch sketchbook and a sharpened pencil to the first class.

2156 | Nuno Felting Techniques Liza Collins

In nuno, or laminated felting, loose wool fibers are fused with a pre-existing woven fabric to create stunning and highly textural effects. Using the process of wet felting, the wool fibers that are placed on top of the pre-existing fabric migrate through the woven structure and lock in place. As the wool fibers shrink they pull the fabric with them causing ruching, puckering and pleating. Nuno felts are generally lightweight, flexible, and extremely versatile for use in making garments, accessories, or fine art pieces. No previous experience necessary.

Faux Bois, or “false wood,” is a well known art form in San Antonio.

This five-day intensive will provide the basic skills, techniques and information necessary for the creation of decorative and functional cement forms. Finishing options and coloring techniques will also be covered. Each student will construct and finish a small project of his or her design. Includes materials; please see the SSA website for a list of suggested supplies.
