3-DAY CLAY ADVENTURE

Clay is a wonderful story-telling medium... I consider it my responsibility, as an instructor, to guide students in how to talk to the clay and how to listen to it as well.  I will encourage participants to use clay as their voice for communication.  Whether your story is a personal or global message, you will tell it in clay.

Your journey in clay will begin with some background information about harvesting and using locally dug, unprocessed clay...what it looks like in the raw, how it's processed and what makes it different from commercial clays. We will also discuss your skill levels so that I may gear your project to your experience. All levels Welcome.

We will work from 10am - 3pm each day, for the first 2 days to complete your projects in clay. At the end of day 2, you will leave your fresh work to dry and be bisque fired. Day 3, you will claim your fired pieces so that we can complete the finishes portion of the workshop.

Most of the sculptural work that I do, I finish with what are referred to as "cold finishes", acrylic paint, oil and patinas.  I will share with you how to achieve the finishes that you see on my website and in the gallery.  You may also decide to use additional found objects to complement your work... Students will be encouraged to find their own voice and solutions.  

Cost for this 3-Day Art Adventure Workshop is $300 usd, & includes  instruction, clay, firing and studio supplies.
