Throughout history, every civilization has shaped and fired clay in various techniques and styles, with many different reasons or functions. In this class we will utilize various handbuilding methods to dive into this rich history and explore vessels and objects ranging from the narrative amphoras of Greece, the humbly decorated stoneware forms of Korea, or even the terracotta warriors unearthed in tombs of Chinese emperors. We will go on this journey through time and develop fresh and new takes on forms inspired by history, with a twist of our own narrative! Each student receives two shelves to store their work, clay, and tools.
