T4 Garden Sculptures
Students in this class use terracotta and white earthenware clay to create sculptural and functional items, mostly for the garden or the deck. The hand building techniques of coil, slab and pinch along with concave and convex moulds are employed. Students can create functional items such as birdbaths, planters, bowls and platters and realistic or abstracted sculptural forms such as totems, often drawing inspiration from natural organic sources as well as from the work of established well know ceramicists.
Each student works individually in the open-ended STUDIO based classroom. Those without experience with clay will be guided through each of the hand building techniques while experienced students are free to commence projects of their choice.
One positive consequence of the collaborative STUDIO approach is the sharing of ideas, expertise and discoveries. The possibilities are endless!
Students provide their own materials and equipment whilst there are also some equipment items available for general use.
