Sculpt, Build, Throw!

Move over, Play-Doh! Sink your hands into the complex world of modeling! From figurines to dinnerware to architecture, you'll turn your ideas into three-dimensional forms. Working up from experimenting with air-dry clays to designing wheel-thrown vessels built to withstand the heat of the kiln, you will develop fundamental skills with various types of materials. You will analyze the science and physical components of various sculpting materials, giving you a deeper understanding of their unique workability. Processes such as joining & casting, construction, and manipulation, in conjunction with techniques such as surface treatment, textures, attachments, and finishing techniques, will lead you to create works that are both functional and sculptural.
