Description

A hand building sculpture class focusing on hanging art using paperclay.

Several project options, both realistic and abstract, will be available.  Includes wind chimes/mobiles, slump molds, clocks, wall tiles and/or decorative “planks”, or you come up with your own project.

Class will cover the pros and cons of paper clay and how to assemble wet and dry pieces.  Will look at the use of paper clay for repairs of greenware and bisque (and other sneaky repairs for non-food pieces).  Work will include artistic ways to reduce weight and different hanging mechanics. Will use underglazes, wax and studio glazes to color work during and after construction and in green and bisque stages.

If you would like a clock mechanism, there will be a $7 material fee payable to the instructor.

Skill Level: All levels with at least one class experience

Description

Artist, Marjorie Pesek, will teach you her exciting collage technique of Layered Imagery.  Students with any level of artistic talent will see their creative side emerge.  By cutting and assembling together images you select from magazines, you will recreate your own version of your beloved pet, your favorite flower, toy, car or any subject you would like into a unique piece of art.

Each registered student will be asked to email a photo of the subject they would like to create, 10 days prior to class to [email protected]  and select either an 11” x 14” or 16” x 20” canvas.  Marjorie will sketch their subject onto the canvas and bring with her to class. Students should be sure there is a clear central subject in their selection (people portraits are not encouraged) and to bring more small photos of their subject to class.

For a complete list of dates and codes, please see our 2021-2022 Adult Education Schedule.

All Supplies Will Be Provided
