8 Week Intermediate Handbuilding: Finding Form

Intermediate

Let’s get ambitious and thoughtful! In this continuing handbuilding class, we will use the Elements of 3D art and Principles of 3D design to guide our understanding of nuanced and well-composed objects. Expect the techniques from the typical toolkit— pinching, coil construction, and slab work— to get a healthy dose of additional seasoning! Early on, we’ll tackle assignments designed to push your technical skill and problem solving, and culminate with time for special projects— come with your stellar ideas and let’s find form!

Each week will consist of instructor demos and personal making time. Students will also have full access to the studio during open hours for the duration of their 8 Week course (6am-2am All Days).

Shelf space and 25lbs of clay is provided to each student. Tools and other equipment are avaible at the studio for communal use.

instructor info

Languages spoken: English

I earned a BFA in ceramics from University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2018, where summer opportunities to teach ceramics to youths nurtured an ethic of playful earnestness in my work. Now, as a full time potter and ceramics instructor for adults, I believe a clay practice offers a powerful opportunity to not only develop a technical toolkit, but to also explore our philosophy and intention around making. In my teaching, I emphasize the potency of clay as a medium as well as the ways in which form and surface dovetail to elevate a user's experience of the objects we create. I strive to imbue my work and my introduction with humor, curiosity, and observation, and hope to convey the harvest around and within. Nerd out with me about pottery, vegetable gardening, making music, cooking, D&D, bouldering, and dogs!
