Ever wanted to go big(ger)?

In this two-day workshop, Paola Nigris will guide you through building a large, organic shaped vessel using a range of hand-building techniques. The course takes a sculptural approach, exploring concepts of form, texture, balance, and proportion. Students are encouraged to bring their own designs and ideas — Paola will work with you to help realise them. You'll learn slab building, coiling, and mould pressing, as well as how to make your own paper clay slip for strong joints and crack repair. By the end of the weekend, you'll have a greenware vessel ready for the kiln.

Goals of Class
By the end of the workshop, students will have a finished vessel in greenware, ready to be fired.

Prior Experience Required
Students must have completed at least one clay course previously and be able to wedge clay and roll a slab.
