Mary Kay Botkins - Folding Clay Slabs
In this workshop we will fold and bend soft slabs into nesting trays and
lidded forms. Templates will be used to create hollow handles, tortellini
knobs, and super quick origami pots. In this fast-paced, creative
environment, we will be working on multiple pieces at the same time.
All levels.
Lilligren & Rothrock - Cone 6 Glazes/Throwing Development
We start with Cone 6 glazes, learning to apply them and to program
an electric kiln. We will mix and test glazes and work on throwing
skills. Using line blends with commercial glazes, we will explore ways to
build a larger vocabulary of colors and textures. Participants in Lazo’s
Week 2 course can make some of the needed pieces. Intermediate to
advanced. www.ingridlilligren.com
Arthur Gonzalez - Monoprints and Molds: Open Books, Open Minds
This course will introduce participants to the world of poetic imagery.
Through techniques of monoprinting on clay slabs, we will translate
an image from prose to poetry through the usage of the open book
device. Then we will learn how to make one part plaster molds, and
various painting techniques like “Doin’ the Rembrandt” and “Instant
Fresco”. All levels. www.arthurgonzalez.com
