Description
Learn hand-building in Sculpture in the Park, a beginner-friendly class welcoming all experience levels. Instruction, materials, tools and firings are included to produce a finished ceramic piece.
An instructor will demonstrate and guide the group through the complete hand-building process, including the essential technique of slipping and scoring to join clay pieces securely, as well as coil-building and slab-building methods. What you make is entirely up to you, though most students gravitate toward small tea cups and simple vessels, which are satisfying to make and a pleasure to use. The session closes with glaze selection, where each participant chooses from over 20 options ranging from matte to glossy finishes in various colors, including blue, red, yellow, brown, black, and more.
What's Included:
- Clay
- Ceramic tools
- Glaze materials
- Apron
- Kiln firing
Event Itinerary:
- The class begins with a short 15-minute demonstration by an instructor on the technical aspects of clay and how to create the structure and form that students aim to make.
- Followed by everyone creating their own individual piece. Depending on the scale of the piece, students tend to leave with 1-3 creations. If they choose to focus on a larger form, then 1 piece.
- The last 10 minutes of the session account for clean-up time. Once clean-up time is done, each student gets to choose a glaze of their choice.
- There are over 20 glaze options to choose from, ranging from matte to glossy, blue, red, yellow, brown, black, and more.
