Trompe l’oeil translates to “Fool the eye”! In this class, we’ll investigate the transformative nature of clay to build something both beautiful and enigmatic. Students will create one fully developed, show worthy piece. Class demos and round table discussions will consider form, function, design, patina, texture, scale and construction techniques. The class will involve weekly collaborative efforts to help each other problem-solve and develop processes. Each student receives two shelves to store their work, clay, and tools.
