So Much More Than the Figure
This workshop will explore the figure in clay using basic handbuilding techniques. Personal and narrative interpretations will allow the works created to have a spiritual connection between the sculpture and the maker. Demonstrations on building a head and a torso will be shared with students. Visual measurement and ways to create the facial features by pushing on the interior of the form and by additions will be demonstrated. During the building, personal mark making will be discussed on ways to personalize the figure. Creating a surface on wet clay will be achieved by using dry clays, slips and underglazes on the forms.
Ceramic Workshop: Debra Fritts June 26–July 2 at Idyllwild Arts, Idyllwild, CA
