Large Sculptural HandbuildingType: Workshop
An artist stands in a studio working on a large clay sculpture of a human figure. The artist, wearing a lime-green hoodie and a beige apron, is using a sponge to smooth or texture the side of the sculpture's torso. Shelves lined with ceramic tools and clay works fill the background.
In this course, participants will be guided through a range of processes in hand-building with clay with encouragement to go big! Together we will explore traditional techniques including coiling, slab building, pinch pots and press moulding to create sculptural and functional ceramic objects, as well as identifying different clay bodies for these different processes. There will also be an opportunity to add colour to creations with guided slip and surface decoration.
