Adventures in Clay
Ceramic Sculpture Workshop
This workshop is an ongoing 2-weekend class conducted once a month in the inspiring setting of Natasha's studio.
Eloquently put by the former student, If I ever write one of those "100 Things To Do Before You Die" type books, this class is sure to be in it.
The workshop is suited for people either new to ceramic sculpture or looking to improve their ceramic skills. The course is centered on fundamental principles of clay sculpting. Wherever you feel comfortable is where we begin. Any subject matter — whether "traditional" or "your own" — is acceptable. Small group size (typically 2-3 people) allows for individualized instruction.
In this workshop, you will not only learn, but also create a piece of artwork that is yours to keep! Bring an idea to start with or we'll create one that suits you. Teapots, masks, busts, reliefs, animals, abstractions, buildings and everything in between. All sculptures will be glazed and fired as needed.
The workshop covers:
- concept development
- symbolic expressions
- hand-building techniques
- pinch
- slab
- press molding
- coil modeling
- texture
- glazing techniques
- under-glazes
- engobes
- glaze application
The cost of the course is $200 which includes 12.5 lb of clay, selection of cone 04 glazes, clay tools, plaster molds, and 2 kiln firings.
