Intuitive Sculpture: Handbuilding
Adult Hand Builidng Class for Beginner to Intermediate Students
Tuesdays 5:30-8:30pm | June 3 - July 1
This 5 week course is designed for all levels and will cover the basic handbuilding techniques of pinch, coil, and slab as well as the not- so- basic techniques of thinking and responding in intuitively driven design methods. In class, we will discuss how to make an initial loose plan, when to pivot, and how to be adaptive within the clay medium.
Students will be able to choose to work on utilitarian vessels or more sculptural work and can choose to work within multiple methods on different, smaller pieces, or can work towards a larger piece over the 5 week class. Participants will leave the course with a variety of finished shapes and the skills to independently advance their craft.
All materials and tools are included.
In addition to 15 hours of class time, students are eligible for 6 hours of solo work time to use during designated, monitored studio open hours to continue building their skills and to make progress on their class projects.
Please note that there are no make up classes, but each student will be eligible for independent study after their second class.
