In this two-day workshop, students will work with Harvard Ceramics instructor and artist Claudia Olds Goldie to learn how to create animal forms using a single slab rolled into a cylinder. With sensitivity and a willingness to understand the essence of their chosen animal, students will use slab, modeling, pinching and layering techniques to create an expressive, anatomically convincing animal. Claudia will demonstrate the techniques she applies to her own sculptural work, as she leads you through this exciting process.
BRING:
Any sculpting tools you may own
Apron
Hand towel
Lunch, snacks, or water (there are options nearby to get takeout)
FIRING: Unless you are a member of our studio, you are responsible for taking and firing your own work following the workshop. We can fire for a fee. See our paid firing pricing here in our FAQs.
