Brush making for surface design - Thursday Evenings WITH Eric

Students will create their own brushes using natural materials such as deer tail, coyote tail, fox, or squirrel hair attached to bamboo handles.

From there, you’ll explore how marks, pattern, slip, and form can work together in a more intentional way and how decoration can respond to the form itself.

Handles, lids, spouts, altered rims, and handbuilt elements can all create opportunities for movement and surface variation. Expect demonstrations, discussion, experimentation, and plenty of studio work time throughout the four weeks.

Fiber and Clay - Sunday afternoons with jackson

Expand your view of ceramics from an interdisciplinary lens, and leave with many new techniques and ways to explore applications of clay. This class will explore the different ways that fiber art has historically been integrated into practices involving clay (such as Japanese Jōmon pottery), as well as contemporary ways in which we can engage with it now, through the usage of techniques like burnout and constructing pieces for fiber additions post firing.

All levels welcome.
