Ceramics Program, 224 Western Avenue, Allston, MA 02134
Presented by: Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard
Workshop Description:
Sculptor Kyungmin Park
will demonstrate the construction of her figurative sculptures in
porcelain in this one-day workshop. Park will demonstrate how to achieve
crisp lines and clean, tight surfaces with simple tools. She will also
explore conceptual ideas and talk about the importance of facial
expression and symbology within her work. From Park, “A child’s untamed
imagination can create a new and exciting owrld out of a single object.
The combination of an uncorrupted point of view, a strong imagination,
overflowing curiosity, and the desire to push boundaries creates a very
special mindset particular to children. The adult world, by contrast,
restrains the formally infinite imagination by imposing responsibilities
and practical concerns. Society puts limits on the way we, as
individuals, can perceive things, and as an artist I an interested in
expanding these confines.”
The cost for this one-day workshop with Kyungmin Park: Free for Harvard Undergraduate students; $50 for Harvard Graduate
students; $75 for adults enrolled in a course; $125 for adults not
enrolled in a course. To register, download our registration form here or email Shawn Panepinto at [email protected].
