Description
Sculpture using Paper Clay w/Jerry BennettA ten (10) session courseNo class 1/20 or 2/17Course DescriptionMany rules that govern regular clay do not apply to paper clay. Jerry Bennett, a leading international paper clay artist, will conduct a hands-on sculpture course that will provide students an opportunity to explore. and experience new approaches to sculptural forms using paper clay.
Join Jerry as he guides you through how to make paper clay and bonding slips for hand-built forms. In this sculpture course, we will expand your understanding of this unique material by adding various fibers to the clay to make sculptural forms.
Gain valuable insight as Jerry shares practical, problem-solving advice related to your studio work (i.e., how to fix broken work, reduce shrinkage in clay, and prevent cracks).
All Experience Levels are Welcome!Required Supplies• We will be working with cone six porcelain, so please bring hand-building tools, a small pair of scissors, and a clean canvas to work on to the workshop. Participants in this hands-on class will receive clay materials and handouts that will provide valuable information about paper clay, glaze formulas, and supplier information.
