SSSD: PATTERN AND STAMPS
with KARLEE YUREK Sunday, Feb. 12, 1-3:30 PM Join us to explore a fundamental of surface design: the repeated pattern! In this 2.5-hour workshop with DCC artist Karlee Yurek, you'll learn how to use tileable patterns and stamps as elements of design for decorating ceramics! After getting inspiration from contemporary ceramics, students will learn techniques for applying rubber, wood, and bisqueware stamps, and how to carve their own stamps from clay. By the end of the workshop, you'll have a working knowledge of pattern repeats and stamps, your own hand-carved stamp(s), and precisely patterned pottery! |

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAITS IN CLAY
with CLARISSA PEZONE Sunday, Feb. 26, 11 AM - 5 PM Join us to build poignant portraits of the figure in clay! In this 6-hour workshop with master sculptor Clarissa Pezone, you'll learn the ins and outs of creating human portrait busts! Beginning with a simple slab and some basic anatomical principles, Pezone will guide students as you push and pull the clay to create a facial structure from a simple clay cylinder. You'll also learn techniques for placing and sculpting out facial features, how to sculpt specific gestures and expressions, and methods for refining your sculptures. By the end of the workshop, you will have a working knowledge of slab-building, master techniques for sculpting the human face, and your very own portrait bust! |
