Creating Space

SESSION II: JUNE 11-17
VIEW SUPPLY LIST

Join MaPó Kinnord in using a variety of hand building techniques to create ceramic sculptures that consider both exterior and interior space.

 
Course Description

The value of functional ceramics and architecture is in the space the work creates. Participants will be encouraged to have a conceptual purpose for their project. The concept design for a commemorative shrine or fanciful installation container will dictate the possibilities for form and surfaces. The workshop will include lighting design as well as non-clay elements to be added after firing. Feel free to bring objects to include as a featured element of the design. 

Materials: Paper clay, low fire commercial glazes, acrylic paints, and mixed media.

Some experience with basic hand building techniques is needed.
