Sculpture Classes
Instructor: Ann Margaret Russ
Date: Mondays, June 18 - July 30 (no July 2 class)
*includes 12 hours open studio time
Time: 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Skill Level: All
This class covers non-functional ceramics and ways to use clay to create sculptures. Students create freestanding, handmade pieces using sculptural techniques, including coil building, form molding and carving and work with simple clay forms. They consider volume, weight, color, form, and texture while creating contemporary pieces. The sculpture classes are a mix of beginners to more experienced adult students, which encourages a cooperative learning environment. Classes are adjusted to your learning needs. If you are a beginner, you can learn at your own pace. If you have more experience, we can build on what you already know and give you options for your learning choices.
In order to give individual instruction, we limit the number of new students in each class. Beginner pottery students typically spend the first couple of weeks working on the basic skills.
Please wear appropriate clothing (it’s messy), trim your fingernails, tie back long hair and remove rings, bracelets and watches.
There are physical aspects to pottery. Students must be able to lift and carry a 25-lb. bag of clay.
No refunds or credits will be given for missed classes or class withdrawals after the session has begun. Missed classes and studio time are not transferable to another session. Transfers to a class of equal value with the same instructor will be honored if requested 2 weeks prior to class.
