CLAY SUMMER SESSION 6
JULY 30–AUGUST 11, 2023
Natalia Arbelaez
Modest to Monumental
This sculpture workshop will use basic techniques, including pinch and coil, to make small to large forms. These often overlooked techniques can be used to realize many ideas. For large forms we’ll use sectional methods that facilitate firing and shipping when faced with size constraints. We’ll also cover multiple surface techniques (glazes, stains, coldworking) that will bring color or subtlety. I will share the process of storytelling and research I use to create narratives full of symbolism. Low to mid-range firing. All levels. Upper clay studio.
