Class begins on Tuesday, September 2nd 7pm - 10pm Address: 4710 rue st-ambroise, #255
September 2nd - October 21st
This class is for a slightly more intermediate student who has taken a class with me or others before :) In this class we will focus on refining skills and combining different techniques. I love everything handbuilding and want to share how versatile these techniques can be! The class takes place one evening a week for 3 hours over 8 weeks.
Week 1:
pinch pot + coil building a larger form - making a pitcher
Week 2:
Slab building with handmade stamps as well as using found objects & plants
Week 3:
Slab workshop : making a planter and using slip for decoration
Week 4:
Coil building: making large salad bowls with a former, bring your own former! (bowl, interesting shape that you can build on)
Week 5:
making a lidded jar with kurinuki technique (hollowing out and cutting)
Demo: using the kurinuki technique to make a lidded house for a tea light or incense
Week 6:
Guided free time, last time to make new pieces before the glazing classes!
Week 7:
Glazing techniques and underglaze
Week 8:
Last class! Pot luck & glazing party
* If there are pieces unfinished by the last class, students will have the opportunity to come into the studio to finish their work for a final 2 hour supervised session with me during the week from 10am-6pm on a weekday while I am in the studio working.
Students will be able to come back around 2 weeks after the class ends to pick up their treasures <3
