1061| Advanced Handbuilding: Large-Scale Once-Fired Vessels

Together we will explore large scale sculptural vessel forms in this mini-course. Through coil building we will create large-scale vessels that we decorate with a variety of surface techniques from use of press molds to slips, underglazes, slip trailing, sgraffito, and glaze. All sculptures will be once f ired. Contemporary and historical sources of inspiration will be shared as a starting point to create a vessel that embodies each student’s unique vision. Class tuition includes one 25lb bag of clay per student; see *CERAMICS NOTE.
