Clay; a vessel of art and self-discovery
Tuesdays August 22 & 29, 2023
5:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Clay is a powerful artistic medium receptive to colour, drawings, and the human imagination. Join us in exploring the world of clay painting and illustration—a realm of endless testing and playing with materials, where tools like underglaze pencils, crayons, transfer paper, and underglazes resemble other familiar art tools like coloured pencils, charcoal, and ink.
This class will introduce you to using clay as a medium of self-expression and familiarize you with tools for creating your own clay canvases, small 3D objects, pins, and more. You’ll paint patterns, flowers, and faces, while exploring a world of colorful underglazes with different hues and strokes.
Class dates: August 22 & 29
