COFFEE & CLAY - HAND BUILDING TECHNIQUE
Objects
such as plates, bowls, cups, and vases should be made to enhance the
beauty of what is served inside.
All levels of experience are welcome to explore various methods of
working with clay to make utilitarian objects that will adorn the
dinner table. Beginners will be introduced to hand building skills and
advanced students will be given more complex challenges. We will work
with soft and hard slabs to fabricate forms, while adding additional
parts with other techniques such as, coils and extrusions. We will
learn about making and using templates to develop and duplicate shape
design. Techniques for designing and carving our own stamps for surface
texture/decoration that can be incorporated with our forms will also be
covered. We will complete our class with a breakfast potluck, using
serving ware that we have made. This class is for students of all
levels.

Alex's spontaneous response to clay allows him to create a very fluid body of work. Students are inspired by Alex's command of the clay and supportive instructional approach. This class is recommended for students who have basic throwing skills and are working to develop their own voice with clay.
