Description
Class Experience
Clay comes from the earth: an ancient, organic, substance. It smells cool and dark. It is smooth and soft, yet also quite dense. Clay requires muscle. There is an intuitive aspect to working with clay; through many encounters, we develop a sense of the fluidity and substance. There are many sorts of clay, ranging from earthen clay to manufactured modeling clays like Plasticine, Sculpy, and other types of air-dry based clay. Fired in a kiln, clay hardens to a lasting durability. ...
Young children will continually increase their developmental skills of fine-motor development as they work with the clay in their hands: squeezing it, rolling it, pinching it. In addition, they will develop their creativity and build upon their sense of imagination. Working with clay ( air-dry clay) is a very sensory-rich learning experience; it provides the young learner opportunity to explore its properties while learning about their own abilities of strength and creation.
The main materials & supplies that you will need are: air-dry clay, slip, pointy stick for mark making, acrylic paints, liquid soap, paper-plates/ cardboard pieces for the works to dry on, paintbrushes, a smock to wear, a tarp to protect table and a child-size rolling pin or alternative item I will provide a detail list of suggested materials and supplies for this course upon registration.
No live meetings, and maybe some time outside of class.
There is no need to purchase fancy pottery tools for this clay course- for we are mainly using our hands to build and sculpt works of art. The main materials & supplies that you will need are: air-dry clay, slip, pointy stick for mark making, acrylic paints, liquid soap, paper-plates/ cardboard pieces for the works to dry on, paintbrushes, a smock to wear, a tarp to protect table and a child-size rolling pin or alternative item. You will need to prepare in advance some " slip " which is clay that is soaked in water, and keep this stored in a covered container to use every week. This is used to join two pieces of clay together, much like glue, and is very important to have and use in this course.
