Women Working with Clay Symposium

Event Description

Hollow building techniques are the primary methods I use for hand building my sculptures- pinch, slab, coil, repeat. These techniques allow me the opportunity to shape my forms from the inside out. This internal shaping is ripe with metaphors for how I talk about human experience and the body. During my demonstration, I will dive deep into my processes and how these techniques feed the content of my work. I will discuss necessary technical considerations for building large scale, with immediacy. I will also cover the basics of a good sculpture clay body, firing procedures, and much, much more.
