12-SU-WK39 Artist Workshop with Jimmy Clark with Jimmy Clark All skill levels $250, $225 for members Sat Jul 21, 10am - 5pm Sun Jul 22, 10am - 5pm Sat Aug 4, 10am - 12pm Sun Aug 5, 11am - 12pm click HERE to register This four day workshop is designed to dispel the notion that pinching is merely a beginner's technique. Students will explore numerous variations on the method including creating large forms, working intuitively, exploring asymmetrical forms, incorporating found objects, burnishing and applying terra sigilatta. The pieces will then be smoke fired at Cheltenham Art Center. Smoke firing is a process in which bisqued pots are buried in sawdust and smoldered overnight in a kiln. This results in random and unpredictable smoke patterns on the pots' surfaces. *The workshop takes place on the 21st and 22nd at The Clay Studio, and on the 4th and 5th at Cheltenham Art Center. Please call Sara Gallo, School Coordinator at 215-925-3453 x23 for more details.

Heeseung will provide an overview of layering techniques, materials, and firing processes in this workshop, along with information about how to use lusters as a layering element. Students will enjoy hands-on demonstrations of photocopy oxide transfers on leather hard clay, decal application on glazed objects, and relief decorating on masked greenware. Some basic tiles will be provided by The Clay Studio for the leather hard and greenware hands-on portion of the workshop. If students would like to experiment with applying decals, the Studio asks that you bring your own gloss-glazed pieces to use.
