ID : 9122   

« back to classes page
CourseGraphic In this workshop, students will create a large decorative handbuilt vase, in any style, including sculptural. On the first day, students will learn both coil-building and slab-building techniques and then construct their vase. During the second day, students will refine the shape of their vase through trimming and paddling. Demonstrations will be given on decorative techniques such as carving, painting with colored slip, underglaze transfers, texture, and three-dimensional additions. Students will then decorate their vase using these techniques. Students can finish their pieces during their class time or purchase Independent Practice in Ceramics sessions to do so. Students will need to purchase clay on the day of the workshop. The materials fee covers bisque firing and usage of studio equipment.
