‘Constructing the Figure and Form’ class
‘Constructing the Figure and Form’ class
Mondays, 10am -12 pm
Commences May 12
Concludes July 28
This nine week class focuses on traditional ceramic techniques to create stylised figurative and sculptural ceramics. You will learn a broad range of skills such as figurative proportion, slab, pinch and coil construction. Exploring gesture within the human form, you will learn how to construct hands and how to create mood. These skills are transferral for the creation of non figurative sculptural or vessel forms.
This small class facilitates the teaching of an individual sculptural project over the nine week period. It is designed to allow you the time to develop and refine your skills through the creation of a figurative sculpture over an extended period.
Please note.: There is a 2 week break between the 8th class (July 7)and the final class ( July 28) to allow for drying and bisque firing for the application of colour and glazing in the final session.
(There is no class on the King’s birthday weekend)
What is included?
Up to a 10 kg bag of clay
One bisque and glaze firing of a completed sculpture or sculptural form.
All glaze materials.
If you wish to make more than one sculpture throughout the 9 week period, there is an additional fee of $15 a kg for each bisque and glaze firing.
Extra clay is available for purchase
