Cost: $1,185.00 Register Now

Beth Cavener Stichter will be teaming up with fellow sculptor (and mother), Nan Jacobsohn to offer an intense hands-on workshop in capturing gesture and expression through the animal and human form in large-scale clay sculptures. Through demonstrations and slide presentations, Cavener Sticher’s hand-building methods, such as maquettes, armature building, hollowing, and surface design and finish will be covered. Feeling a bit intimidated? Not to worry. Nan Cavener Jacobsohn can guide you through some of the same processes on an introductory level using simplified armatures that will allow you to do many of the poses and ideas that have eluded you in the past. This Mother –Daughter team uses similar techniques, but offer a variety of solutions to the challenges of creating and finishing sculpture. Read Beth Cavener Stichter’s biography |

Esther Shimazu – ANIMATED FIGURE: TEETH TO TOENAILS |
March 25-27, 2011 |
Cost: $480.00 Register Now
|
In this figure building workshop particular attention will be paid to the most detailed parts: heads, hands and feet. Shimazu will demonstrate how she builds animated pottery figures: from teeth and toenails, to getting just the right loopy smile, as she wrestles with clay to achieve something with a life of its own. It is intense but fun. Students should have prior experience with clay and should understand how a teapot is made. Read Esther Shimazu’s biography |
