Face Your Fears: Discovering Bold New Forms
Sam Harvey
Tuition $1,450
Code C1520-24
In this fun and experimental workshop, students learn the principles of clay construction, the fundamentals of aesthetics, and how to take important risks that expand their studio practice. Students are encouraged to work through a number of ideas by creating numerous pieces, making maquettes and studies to discover new bold directions in sculptural form. The course focuses on how shape, volume, and line contribute to the beauty of an object. Deriving form from slab, coil, and press-mold techniques, students explore all the orientations that forms can take, including work for the wall, table, and floor. Working with mid-range clay bodies, we explore a variety of textures and finishes, including color slips and various glazes.
