Sculpting Animal Vessels

Join us for an immersive dive into transforming your thrown and hand built pots into sculptural animal vessels through techniques of alteration, additive, and carving. Instruction will cover basic sculpting techniques such as the hollowing method and how to give the animals expression and defining characteristics such as eyes, ears, and motion. Katie will work individually with each student to help create a pleasing composition, structural integrity and visual interest in their artworks.

This work show is suitable for intermediate students. The ability to throw or hand build a vessel is ideal, students can be beginners at sculpting.

Students can expect to spend $45 – $65 on materials provided by Pocosin or the instructor. This number is an estimate based on projected student usage and firings, and the final amount could be outside of this range.
