| Exuberant Clay Form & Surface |
Creating interesting, exuberant hand-built forms in clay does not have to be hard. In this 5-day workshop, Carol will show her method for constructing some of the unusual ceramic forms she uses in her sculpture and vessels. Our process will include paper templates, carving solid clay forms, and creating a simple 1/4 segment plaster mold. From this press mold we will make numerous forms and variations quickly by connecting, altering, stacking, piercing into and re-combining the component parts. Colour, pattern and texture are important elements in creating a rich ceramic surface and using Carol’s layered approach we will explore many ways to enliven and embellish form. Surface design techniques covered will include stamping, bas relief clay molds, slips, hand-painting wax resist coloured patterns, scraffito, weathering and staining.
Some prior experience with clay is recommended.

This year’s winner of the Sheridan College Gardiner Museum Award, presents a solo exhibition and reception for Adaptations at the Gardiner Museum.
The show runs May 6 to July 10th
“In my site-specific installation Adaptations, I have constructed bricks, modeled figures and clay-dipped both organic and non-organic objects. The dipped objects are attached to the figures and fired as body-parts.
My ceramic process gravitates towards experimentation and material failure. The inherent fragility of ceramics translates into narrative in my work. Bricks are heavy objects, which in multiples can: shelter, protect, detain, demarcate, divide, collapse. Within this environment my figures adopt survival adaptations taken from industrial, natural and entertainment models, coping responses to an unpredictable world”
