All Classes

In this course, students explore the basic physical properties of clay by practicing a variety of hand-forming techniques used to create functional objects. Hand-forming techniques will include, pinch pots, slab building, mold slumping, and texture. The objective is not to make pieces to take home, rather learning what is possible and allowing you to get your hands dirty and feel what it's like! No previous experience in clay is needed for this class. (an introduction class is a prerequisite for instructional open studio)

Come learn paper clay sculpture with local artist Mo Wassell! She will demonstrate a small bust-type sculpture of a whimsical figure. Students are encouraged to bring sketches/photos of inspiration or a project they want to create, keeping in mind this course is geared toward whimsical sculpture rather than portrait/classical sculpture. Mo will teach basic face composition techniques and introduce you to paper clay and its properties and advantages. She will also discuss alternative and cold finishes. Depending on the size and complexity of your project(s) and your working speed, more than one project could be completed. Experience not necessary but helpful.
