Description: Kirsten will guide the class in creating a lush narrative celebrating one’s creative voice, combining ceramics and mixed media assemblage techniques. Gesture and expression are the key elements in figurative sculpture, and Kirsten will spend time exploring ways to maximize the narrative potential.
During this workshop, participants will build a small ceramic torso intended to hang from the wall. In addition, Kirsten will guide the class to expand and strengthen the narrative potential by making an assemblage fiber scroll that will hang from the torso. This will ultimately allow students to use 2-D and 3-D forms of expression to deepen the layers of the story. Participants will explore assemblage techniques such as building up a surface, layering with inks, collage, eco printing, photo transfer, stitch, and mark making.
Kirsten’s step-by-step approach to figurative ceramics is easily accessible, especially for beginners. Her class demonstrations are followed up with individual tutorials, enabling her to help each student achieve their unique vision.
Fee: $840. Fee includes the workshop, materials provided by the instructor, and a $20 non-refundable registration fee.
