Join us for this two day, hands on workshop taught by Kevin Snipes! During this workshop, participants will be looking at toys as a source of inspiration for making ceramic sculptural objects.
Whether simple or complex, nostalgic or futuristic, toys often hold emotional connections. Zeroing into what design elements we individually find appealing each participant can foster a sense of personal creative investigation.
Looking at toys as a source for visual language, such as lines, curves, edges, proportion, labels, and color compositions, we will play around with constructing our own sense of playful objects.
This is a two day fast-paced workshop and intimate in scale. We will be working with porcelain or white stoneware and colored underglazes. Glazing will not be done but we will discuss various glaze applications.
*Workshop fees include clay and materials, and the bisque firing of up to 3 pieces per participant.
