« back to classes page
CourseGraphic Transform your living space with the soothing sounds of water with a tabletop fountain you create yourself!  In this two-session workshop,  students will design, sculpt and/or throw, to assemble their very own functional tabletop water fountain made from clay. The primary focus will be on creativity, functional elements and engineering of design and waterflow. Students need to purchase a small electric water pump beforehand so measurements and shrinkage can be determined. Please view the materials list online for the recommended item to purchase. Students are encouraged to come to the workshop with an idea and sketch of their fountain considering proper waterflow and pump concealment. This workshop is designed for intermediate and advanced students who already have experience in handbuilding and wheel-throwing techniques (ex. centering, pulling, and trimming.) On the first day, students will make all of the parts for their fountain. One the second day, students will trim, embellish, texturize and add decorative elements to make it uniquely their own. Depending on complexity of the design and students’ work speed, students can finish their tabletop fountain during class time or purchase Independent Practice in Ceramics sessions to do so. The materials fee includes clay bisque firing and usage of studio equipment. Students will need to purchase clay on the day of the workshop.
