Join Us!
Join Suze for a week of exploration and play while hand-building and decorating volumetric forms. Using your sketchbook and larger drawing paper as a springboard, we will translate drawn shapes into 3D vessels. Using paper patterns, drop and drape molds as components, we will focus on developing and sculpting one-of-a-kind vessels. Suze will demonstrate a variety of approaches to surface enhancement, using slips on leather-hard clay. Writing, drawing, and sharing of source materials will help participants develop strategies to personalize their work.
