Course Description
This 2.5 day workshop will be an action packed, information filled weekend. We will meet from 2-5pm on Friday, Oct. 23rd and then from 10-5 on Saturday and Sunday, October 24 and 25. Beginners are welcome and supported. Please note: this is a very fast-paced workshop. Using hand building techniques we'll create head/shoulders in paper clay. Phase One: creating pinch pot heads. Jeanine will break down the basic shapes that make up the features and will offer simple instructions to create expressive, facial details. Phase Two: using coil and slab techniques to create small shoulders/busts and necks to hold our heads. Phase three: Applying underglaze color and surface design elements to our small busts. Phase Four: Applying glaze to the finished pieces once the underglaze has dried. At the end of the workshop, participants can opt to take their finished piece(s) home or have it/them fired at the studio. A firing fee of $50 will be collected during the workshop for those opting for the latter. Jeanine will present a demonstration on how the fired sculptures might be finessed at home with cold finishes. The clay, glazes and take-home tutorials are included in the workshop fee of $525.. Basic tools are provided by the studio however, a list of additional tools will be emailed from Jeanine.
