find your way with clay 

Learning by doing: The Handbuilding Project

Learning by doing on the longer run with your personal project. Have a solid knowledge on how to realize your personal project. If you dont have a sketch or project it doesnt matter. As long as it fun for you to explore.

In this class you will learn the different techniques and basics of 

coiling vs. asian wedge coiling
slab building and their advantages of different thicknesses and angles
connecting parts of clay
carving out from a block of clay 
different clay stages
adding back clay and their downsizes with trapped air or different time stages
hollowing
the difference and choice of these work types
why the choice of size for your project matters
and finally how to plan your future projects.


This weekly class is ideal for everyone, who want to realize a personal masterpiece. Every time you come back for your artwork, the stages of firmness change. We will have a closer look at its stage and condition. It is the biggest benefit to understand this stage and how to continue.
Even though the taught techniques might have been understood and learned quickly, a real project challenges you to re-think many times. Sometimes clay does what it wants, but maybe it also happens that a certain moment or perspective inspires you for a total different direction and here you are: trapped in this beautiful freedom of multiple possibilities, learning by doing.

Each time you come back to your piece, the process will grow and change. It is an exciting moment to observe these different stages.
