Ceramics: Handbuilt Sculptural & Functional Forms
Instructor: Tracey Priska
In this class participants will experiment with and
explore handbuilding techniques such as pinching,
coiling, slab construction and subtractive methods
to create both sculptural and functional forms. Class
time will also include technical demonstrations, group
discussions and presentation of contemporary, ceramic
work. Students will be encouraged to work at their own
pace and skill level with guided instruction, to continue
developing their own personal expression.
