An Eco-Conscious Approach to Hand Building Clay: Paper Clay + Wild Clay
Adult Multi-Week | Available
Learn to create small, sculptural hand-built objects with a focus on form, process and sustainability. We will work with paperclay and wild clay. Explore and investigate basic coil, pinch and slab making techniques with these two different clay bodies. Learn where clay comes from, and how to use it sustainably and economically.
- This class does not include glazing. Painting techniques will be discussed so students can paint finished works at home if they would like. Clay is intentionally left “raw” and unglazed, in order to focus on form. Students may choose to fire their work though, which will be included in the class.
Please bring a towel and a set of basic clay tools if you have them.
All clay bodies and firing will be included in the fees. Glaze will not be included.
On-site courses do not come with studio access outside of class time. Paid open studio access is available through our Studio Access Program. Please visit visarts.org for more information.
