ABOUT THIS CLASS:
This class meets Thurs 9a-12p, Sept 10-Nov 5 (9 weeks).
INTERMEDIATE POTTERY II for ADULTS (morning) is a 8-week intermediate-level clay class which has been called the “Frequent Flyer” class! Since so many exciting new clay skills and techniques are introduced, most students choose to repeat the class several times, each time to focus on mastering a specific area of their personal interest. Pottery II students work semi-independently in a series of broad assignment options which develop new skills and insights in clay as an art form.
IN POTTERY II, students:
• may focus on either wheel or handbuilding, or both.
• set individual goals for their area(s) of interest.
• work to develop excellent craftsmanship and demonstrate an awareness of the elements & principles of design in their clay work.
• learn advanced pottery techniques including: making lids and sets, mastering handles, using colored clays, combining wheel and handbuilt forms, etc.
• learn more advanced decorating techniques including: underglazes on both raw and bisqued clay, wax and paper resist, embossing, sgraffito, mishima, monoprinting, airbrushing, screenprinting, etc.
• have options to work in various stoneware and porcelain clay bodies.
• have the option to participate in outdoor BARREL firings
• research the techniques and work of contemporary potters through current publications, books, and internet resources.
• participate in group discussion, analysis and critique.
• participate in individual and/or group exhibits of their work.
