An architecture-inspired course for building emotive structures, from design on paper to finished piece.

This course is for inquisitive makers and those looking to expand their skills beyond craft-based pottery.

Clay is a perfect medium for recreating and reimagining architecturally inspired sculptural forms, from treasured family homes to architectural icons; clay can be a versatile material capable of sharp lines and bold forms.

The premise of this course is to develop a piece (or series) in response to a building or specific location special to you. With a big emphasis on the design process, the course will focus on slab building techniques, paying close attention to fine detail, encouraging students to refine and develop their skills.
