Clay has acted as a medium for human expression for millennia. This course poses the question, “What does it mean to sculpt in the context of our contemporary world?” Whether fragile and detailed or stark and monumental, ceramic sculpture is a limitless field. Instructor Sarah Bernhardt will encourage and inspire students to explore a spectrum of sculptural techniques in clay. Use slab rolling, wheel throwing, handbuilding, extruding, carving, surface design and glazing methods to form figurative, abstract, decorative, site-specific, minimalistic, fantastical or narrative ceramic sculptural forms. A studio/materials fee of $15 covers your first bag of clay and is due at time of registration. Additional clay, glazing and firing fees will depend on the scope of individual projects. New students are encouraged to purchase a pottery tool kit for $15.
