Description
In this 10-week hands-on workshop, explore the exciting possibilities of large-scale ceramics through hand-building, wheel-throwing, or a combination of both! Led by the talented Paige Wright, this class welcomes students of all levels who are eager to push the boundaries of scale in their work. While we welcome both beginners and experienced artists wishing to hand sculpt, we require that those interested in wheel throwing should have prior wheel experience and confidence in their basic throwing skills.
Students will learn essential solid building techniques for sculptural forms. Those with wheel throwing experience will have the option to scale up their practice. Whether you’re interested in constructing bold figurative or abstract sculptures, throwing oversized vessels, or blending both methods, this course provides the skills and support to bring your vision to life. Paige will guide students with engaging lectures and demonstrations, covering structure, form, material considerations, surface treatments, and how to infuse personal narratives into their work.
