Beginning Hand building with Erik Brown

Wednesdays

Sept. 1st to Oct 6th

Ages 15+

In this class, students will learn about the properties of clay, and the techniques that make clay a useful medium to create functional as well as artistic forms fitting for everyday use. Techniques that will be primarily taught will include:

• Additive pinch technique fit for forming vessels from coils of clay, blending them together for sound structural constructions.

• Soft slab construction for forming objects out of thinly rolled sheets of clay that can be bent and stretched to the desired form.
