Enrol in Clay - Handbuilding Explorations
Course Code: ARTS2659
Create forms with clay and your hands. Before ceramicists invented the wheel, handbuilding was the only way functional and artistic ceramic forms could be created. In this intensive course, students will explore the endless potentials of hand-building! Three fundamental building techniques will be examined: pinching, coiling and slab construction. Using these three techniques, students will experiment with developing unexpected forms and decoration for either sculpture or pottery.
