Sculptural Body Vases in Clay
Join us for a special one-off workshop taking inspiration from the curves, contours and proportions of the human figure, students will create their own sculptural body vase using coiling and hand-sculpting techniques.
Led by artist Lauren McNicoll we will be taking the thighs as a starting point, students will learn how to construct a hollow ceramic form, building up the hips, waist and torso before sculpting anatomical details and refining the shape. The focus will be on capturing the volume and character of the body.
Your work is then glazed for you in a colour of your choice, and fired by the studio technician. It will then be ready to collect 2 weeks later.
This relaxed, informal session is perfect for beginners, or those who want to try something new with clay. There are 3 hours to experiment, play and refine your piece.
