All experience levels welcome. Join artist, educator and therapist, Jeffery Sun Young Park, in a guided series to cultivate a personal creative practice through building ceramic masks. In this workshop, participants will explore different handbuilding techniques including coils, slabs and using molds to create personal pieces. The session will consist of class dialogue, group clay time, individual practice and creation time.
Students will learn about drying time and its integral role in assembling sculptural pieces. Jeff will teach building in parts, utilizing templates and molds, techniques for piecing parts together, clean up and finishing. With Jeff's guidance and support, participants will begin creating the steps towards planning and prepping before creation time. It's encouraged that participants come into class with a few ideas of pieces they would like to make and a sketch book.
Basic tools and materials are included. All pieces will be fired to cone 5 and all pieces will be ready for pick up within 3 weeks of the final session.
Health, Safety & Accessibility
We are fortunate to have an indoor/outdoor space that offers a safe haven, particularly for our immunocompromised community members who are at higher risk for Covid, flu, RSV, colds, and other infections.
To ensure a safer space for everyone, we require masks for all programming and are providing N95 and KN95 masks. Masks also protect us from clay & glaze dust that can become harmful with longterm inhalation. We ask that everyone work with us, so that we can collectively create a feeling of safety, community and connection.
Our property is ADA accessible. The bathroom has 3 steps and a ramp can be fitted upon request. On-site parking is available when needed along with other accommodations.
Please reach out with any questions, ideas or concerns to [email protected]. We’re always happy to hear from our community and are constantly working to improve.
