This class will focus on the basic yet most important techniques when working with clay. Each student will learn the esssential steps while exploring various avenues of how to make a successful ceramic work of art. This class is a project-based course that will rotate between different methods when working with clay. We will dive into several different ways on how to create sculptural and functional objects using clay. Students will focus on creating functional forms while also having the opportunity to play with sculptural aspects too. We will explore decorative techniques through applying color and texture to put the perfect finishing touches on their clay masterpieces! This class will include group demonstations while offering a lot of hands-on support and activities that are great for any level of young artist.
No prior experience with clay is needed for this class, just bring your curiosity and be ready to get your hands dirty and have fun! Wear clothes you don't mind getting clay on (it will wash out!) and closed-toed shoes. When working with clay, skip jewelry, roll up your sleeves, tie long hair back, and keep nails trimmed for the best experience. Clay and all tools needed for the class are provided by Paducah School of Art and Design.
