EWER, ME & A CUP OF TEA
instructor Annie Chrietzberg |
 |
|
The class will start with the making of a cup the slow and beautiful way. Forget the speedy wheel, that's like drive-thru. The point is to spend some time and let our energy really infuse every cup we make. This project will introduce the use of templates, as well as how to modify them.
The second part of this workshop will be making an animated pouring vessel. The ewer has lots of room within its parameters for sculptural considerations. Using only the most basic of wheel skills, Annie will show the class how she draws a simple outline from a thrown ring, and talk about how she uses texture to 'dress' her critters. This project is easily modifiable for the purely hand-building student. As time allows, other projects will be covered. Bring a sack lunch.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 5/7/09.

THE SHAPE OF SUMMER BUTTER
instructor Annie Chrietzberg |
Don't you love the shape of summer butter, shot through with corn-silk? The butter dish is one of Annie's favorite forms, the fancier the better for holding its own on a crowded picnic table. This project will cover the creation and use of templates, double-sided slabs, puffed rims, throwing, altering, cutting and assembling some parts, and the joining of textured slabs to thrown elements. Only the most basic of throwing skills are required, but the project is also easily modifiable for the purely hand-building student. Student's can either use Annie's templates or design a shape of their own. As time allows, other projects will be covered. Bring a sack lunch.

WIRE SCULPTURE & DRAWING WORKSHOP
Instructor:
Tom Hill
|
 |
The aim of this workshop is to make a simple sculpture in wire. We will start by drawing a selection of objects, for example old worn shoes, animal skulls and other complex, three dimensional objects. Then, by using simple cold joins and/or soldering, we will construct wire objects based on these drawings. Wire works well for suggesting form, but can also evoke texture and surface. The wire is easy to work with and no previous experience of working with metal is necessary. Bring bag lunch.
