1037 | Intermediate Coil Building Ryan Takaba

This class will build upon student’s hand-building skills using intermediate coil construction techniques. There will be several sculptural projects accompanied by surface decoration demonstrations. The class will utilize a high-fire grog clay body. Low-fire glazes, under-glazes, and unfired paint will be used to finish the participants’ projects.

1041 | Image Transfer Techniques Greg Kinney

Modern technology has opened an entirely new range of possibilities in this area for the ceramic artist. Incorporating image transfer techniques provides great opportunity for self-expression beyond that of glaze alone. In this low-temperature class, the goal is to introduce the student to three of these techniques: EZ Screen Print, monochromatic iron oxide decals, and photographic quality color ceramic decals. Students will gain the technical tools necessary through the use of test tiles and basic Photoshop instruction, and then apply those learned techniques to their own work. The department will supply the printers, computers and some materials, but the student should expect to purchase their own clay and transfer materials for their personal projects.

During class, participants will be working on clay components, taking trips to thrift stores and scrap yards to find alternate materials, and then developing ways to incorporate the mixed media. All firing methods will be low-temperature which will help in achieving brighter colors and alternate surfaces. See *ceramic Note.

9530 | Found Object Sculpture Justin Boyd

The history of incorporating real world objects onto the picture plane and into the forms of sculpture allowed art to not just speak about real world things, but actually use them. This marriage of material and subject matter heralding a new era of material inquiry continues today. This class will continue on in this grand tradition by looking at the history and discovery of making of found object sculptures. Over the course of this 10-week class, we will make three found object sculptures. Students will need a small budget to buy or salvage things for their work; field trips to local junk, thrift and salvage stores to look for goodies will be part of the class. Materials and projects will be discussed in the first class. Thurs, Jan 30 – Apr 3 | 9:30am – 12:30pm | Sculpture Studio | Navarro Tuition: $250 (Members: $235) | 10 sessions NEW | All Levels

Materials will be discussed in the first class; students will need to provide their own compact digital recorder and headphones. Open to age 15 and above.

The Sculpture and Integrated Media Department studio is a hybrid environment with both traditional wood and metal tools, but newer technologies such as CNC milling, digital printing, and video and sound production equipment; the program offers 3-D classes in a variety of materials and interdisciplinary practice.

9078 | Concrete Forms: For Sculpture or Mosaics Sherri Warner Hunter | Bell Buckle, TN

Learn how large-scale sculptural forms can be created using lightweight polystyrene foam as the base for free standing sculptures, bas relief, totems, water features, architectural elements, and as a substrate for sculptural mosaics. Hunter will guide students through creating a maquette (scale model), enlarging designs, visualizing a three-dimensional form, and preparation for carving a 15-inch square polystyrene foam block. Once carved, the forms will be covered in layers of fiberglass mesh and polymer fortified concrete. A variety of surface treatments will be presented. See website for materials; foam will be available for purchase from the instructor; students should anticipate $75 for material cost.

9075 | Sculpting Cement: Faux Bois Technique Donald Tucker

DONALD TUCKER was trained as a commercial illustrator, but left the advertising business to become a full-time studio artist. As a sculptor, he specializes in creating large-scale works in ferrocement employing the faux bois tradition. Tucker is a leading authority on the technique and teaches workshops nationwide.

Faux Bois, or “false wood,” is a well known art form in San Antonio. These three-dimensional sculptural representations of wood or wooden objects employ a steel and stucco lath armature which is then coated with cement-based media. Tooling of the final cement coat creates the illusion of wood grain and bark texture. This fiveday intensive class 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. Wed – Sun, May 14 – 18 | 9:30A – 4:30P | Sculpture Studio | Navarro Tuition: $500 (Members: $485) | 5 sessions | Please register by Apr 28. VISITING ARTIST | SPECIAL CLASS | Intermediate/Advanced

9076 | Advanced Faux Bois Sculpting Donald Tucker

This class focuses on the use of the unique neat Portland paste finishing formulations that distinguish the more highly detailed works associated with El Trabajo Rustico. This mixture is very demanding and even considered “impossible” to employ by many experts, but when mastered, can yield a level of detail comparable to most sculpting clays. Since none of the basic construction considerations are covered during this class, it is highly recommended that students possess a fundamental familiarity with armature development and sculpting, as well as a working knowledge of basic cement formulating and mixing, if they are to get the most from this course.
