Sculpt What You Feel is a hands-on, right-brain/left-brain introduction to self-expression through the Art & Craft of Sculpting. Create beautiful sculptures while learning to express yourself three-dimensionally through:

A) Modeling in soft materials such as earth clays, self-hardening resin clays, non-hardening plasticine clays, or microcrystalline wax.
B) Carving in softer materials like styrofoam, balsa wood, soapstone, alabaster, gypsum, hardened wax, or hardened earth clay—all in various hardnesses.

All sculpting will be done using filing and sanding—no hammers or chisels. Attendance at the first class is mandatory.

Important: Students will be responsible for purchasing their own materials after the first class, once they have selected their project. Material costs will range from $20-$40, depending on their choices. Options include plasteline clay, water-based clay, self-hardening clays, or microcrystalline wax.  Additionally, each student will need to purchase a 1 ft. square x ¾” thick melamine board to work on, which will be provided by the instructor at a cost of $2 per board. 

This course is an open studio session chock full of great fun and creative energy for all ceramicists. There is still 1on 1 teaching to help refine what you learned in the basic course It is designed for clay artists with prior wheel throwing experience. Students should have a sufficient understanding of basic methods of centering, throwing and glazing techniques. Projects must have instructor approval. Clay can be purchased for $45 for 25 lbs and glazes included. Don't forget your towel!   Prerequisites: Should have completed Beginner Wheel-POT113.

Note: Please be aware this class requires a certain level of manual dexterity and hand strength.

It's time to play in the mud on the potter's wheel! Potters will develop skills for creating wheel-thrown pots of form and function for everyday use. The potter's wheel and ideas will be the foundation for exploring personal expression in these wheel-thrown pots. There will be an abundance of one-on-one instruction for individual skill building in a small class setting. Course cost includes tools, up to 12 pounds of throwing clay and firings.

Please be aware this class requires a certain level of manual dexterity and hand strength.

This class is designed for students who have prior experience with hand-building techniques and are ready to expand their skills. Students will refine pinch, coil, and slab methods while exploring more complex forms, surface design, and construction techniques. Emphasis will be placed on craftsmanship, problem-solving, and developing individual style.

Note: Students may get dirty with clay; please wear appropriate clothing, and a hand towel is recommended. Prior hand-building experience is required. Supply fee: $45

Participants will have designated workspace for personal hand-building during studio time, along with full access to all shared studio facilities and tools. Clay suitable for hand-building projects will be available for purchase from the instructor for $45 per 25-lb bag.

Note: Please be aware this class requires a certain level of manual dexterity and hand strength.

Learn how to mold, cast, and faux finish just about any three dimensional object. Including how to enlarge or shrink objects via mold making reproduction. Plus safe ways to quickly mold and cast body parts, like face and hands.

We’ll be using rubber mold products, gypsum cements, fiberglass, wax, resins, etc. - over soft or hard clays or solid objects. Then learn how to create faux finishes so your product looks like it's made of something other than what it actually is, for fun, practicality, and profit - where applicable.

Note: There is a materials fee that will range from $10 to over $100, depending on the project chosen by the student. This fee is payable to the instructor at the first class.
