6 week course
Registration Deadline: November 5
$108 for members / $120 for non-members*
A For ages 16 and older
For beginners and intermediate clay students. Students, you will learn how to “see” the human figure in a block of clay. Clay is brought at first class. Bring photos and pictures of a figure(s) you like and want to create from a block on a good turntable; bring to first class; a good sound turntable is essential for working your clay figure 360 degrees. Plan your figure about 12” tall. A second session is usually required; the figure has to dry, be fired in the kiln and a patina applied on your finished piece. We have fun and learn at the same time. Your clay is purchased at first class and a handout will be given to answer questions and suggest sculptors you may wish to research. I suggest you sculpt a figure with arms close to it’s sides.
*Materials Fee:
Students will be required to pay an additional materials fee of $30 for clay,
glaze and firing. The materials fee should be paid to the instructor on the
first day of class.
