Yay for clay! This is an 8-week handbuilding class that explores sculptural construction techniques, surface manipulation, and observational modeling. A series of increasingly challenging projects, will allow students to develop their abilities, problem solve structural and sculptural issues and create convincing three-dimensional forms.

Students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of construction methods and learn how to choose the techniques best suited to different forms. They will experiment with additive, subtractive, impressed, pierced, and slipped surface treatments while developing strategies for rendering realistic textures such as skin, folds, hair, bark, and other natural surfaces.

Projects include a series of texture sample tiles, a micro-to-macro sculpture inspired by an everyday object, and a life-sized human hand sculpted from observation. The final two class sessions will be devoted to glazing, painting, and finishing work as appropriate.

This class is designed for students who are already comfortable with basic handbuilding techniques and are ready to further develop their sculptural skills.
