Since the beginning of time, humans have had an innate desire to place ornamentation, pattern and imagery on objects, architecture and their own bodies. If you’re ready to satiate your craving to decorate, come learn how to merge 2-D ceramic surfaces with 3-D forms. We design and handbuild small-scale abstract forms, then shift to developing layered surfaces by working the clay at various stages. We learn how to craft visually seductive, content rich, emotionally charged surfaces. While our focus is applying glazes and underglazes to handbuilt ceramic sculpture, these methods also transfer to utilitarian forms.
