Clay • Adult • Repeating Forms • 5 Day Adult Camp (July 20 - July 24) • 9:00am-12:00pm • MAIN
with John Minkler
Ever throw something on the wheel and want to repeat it, but you’re not quite getting that consistency? Come figure out the form in this week long adult clay camp! In this camp, students will pick a shape and work on repeating it to learn consistency in throwing and how to make a uniform set. In ceramics repetition is key to getting the form just right. Come learn some techniques and tricks to making this happen along with plenty of wheel time to practice! This camp is all about the process and not about the product. Students won’t keep anything which leaves room to let go and explore without the pressure of completion. By the end of camp, students will have a much better understanding of what goes into making a repetitive shape that will greatly improve their throwing skills for sets in future classes.
This class will take place at Groundworks Main, 3750 Canfield St. Boulder, CO
Ages 16+
