Description
Clay is inherently connected to the human narrative. Throughout time clay has been fired to ceramic art to tell our stories. This course will focus on clay handbuilding, ceramic surface imagery, and poetic narrative. Students will learn handbuilding and surface imagery techniques including: coil building, slab building, inlay, sgraffito, underglaze, and glazing. In this 3 week summer class students will create sculptures that utilize personal or personally significant narratives. Students will study the work of contemporary artists using narrative such as Roberto Lugo, Arlene Shechet, Kathleen Wall and Kensuke Yamada. Through demonstrations, readings, slides, and critique, students will analyze and borrow from the long history of narrative in clay.
