Clay Slabbing and Hollow Forms - Intensive Workshop by Janly Jaggard
Two 6-hour sessions + glazing day (approx. 15 hours total): From 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, August 9 and 10, with glazing on Friday, Aug. 30, from 10:00 a.m. until finished.
Slabbing is a technique that uses leather-hard clay construction and recalls real-world angular shapes. These shapes are the inspiration for the project students will create in this workshop. Ideas will come from references to buildings, man-made forms such as machines, and manufactured forms.
We will make plans and drawings on paper then work on rolling out clay. Exploration of methods of joining slabs and developing surface decoration will be next, as the clay gets to leather hard and ready for building. Decoration and embellishment includes adding clay, piercing, carving, and using color.
Each students must bring:
- Sketchbook/notebook
- Drawing tools: pencils or pens
- Apron or shirt
