Sense of Place: The Artist's Voice
Doug Casebeer
Tuition $1,450
Code C0707-24
It is often said that we are a product of our environment, our background, and the sum of our experiences. This class explores these sources for inspiration through exercises and projects that tap the potential of the creative spirit. Students need an open mind to explore the depths of their own personal history for artistic ideas—and must have a willingness to fail. This advanced class focuses on taking risks with process and techniques as we work with high-fire clay to make vessels, sculptures, and pottery. Students can expect to leave with a better understanding of their art practice.

Finishing Follows Form: Glazing and Firing
Doug Casebeer
Tuition $1,450
Code C0507-22
Just when you thought you had mastered working in clay, along comes glazing. In this workshop, students explore techniques, present strategies, glaze wares and load a kiln, all on the first day. Conversations concern creative potentials for successful glazing strategies. There are lectures on basic glaze formulations and kiln-firing systems. Risk-taking is encouraged to develop a more personal and meaningful artistic voice. There are demonstrations on both hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques, as well as lots of tricks and tips for glaze application. Students are asked to bring 10 to 12 pieces, bisque-fired to cone 06 with a minimum 2” diameter and a maximum 9” height. Tumblers, vases, cups, pitchers and small sculptures are ideal.
No workshops to show.
