Clay Hand Building
Instructor: Catherine Sherwood
Saturday, December 14th, 10am-4pm
"Hand Building" is working with clay by hand without the use of the pottery wheel. Before the advent of the potter's wheel, artisans were making beautiful pottery and clay forms using only their hands, clay and basic tools. The world of clay hand building and the artistic possibilities it presents is infinite. In this workshop students will explore various hand building techniques used in the creation of ceramic objects for the home and garden. Students will learn how to manipulate clay with slab and coil building, press molding and the embellishment of surfaces with techniques such as embossing, appliqué, carving and stamping. No previous clay experience is necessary.
Instructor Catherine Sherwood holds a Masters in Art Education from Texas Tech University and a BFA in Ceramics and Fibers from Texas State University. She is a practicing artist with over 40 years of experience in clay. She has over 25 years experience as an art educator in Austin, San Antonio, San Marcos and Wimberley.
