In this two-day ceramics workshop, students will learn how to create functional forms by pinching clay. Pinching is one of the oldest and simplest techniques for forming clay objects, with a history that dates back thousands of years to ancient civilizations. It involves using only one’s hands and fingers to shape the clay into a vessel or form. Starting with five pounds of clay, students will learn how to use pinching techniques to form different shapes and sizes. Whether students want a round, square, or more organic forms, all can be achieved by strategic shaping and pinching. They will also learn how to add details, such as handles and texture to their piece. On the second day, students will focus on completing their work by painting with colorful glazes. This class is for participants 18+ and has a minimum of 4 participants and a maximum of 10. If the minimum is not met, participants will be refunded. This workshop is non-refundable after supplies have been purchased and the registration deadline passes. Please email mbell@kentuck.org with any questions.
