6.21-26.10
Using the vernacular of the vessel and working within a narrow range of forms, Jerilyn uses the power of subtlety to create intimate spaces. Working with earthenware clay, students will use handbuilding techniques to explore the vessel as both a sculptural container and an abstract object. Beginning with small maquettes, students will experiment with shape and proportion, brainstorming directly with clay. This collection of rapidly developed three-dimensional sketches will become a resource for the rest of the workshop. With a focused study of proportion, structure, and surface, students will learn to translate these solid objects into hollow forms. Students will build double-walled vessels through pinching, coiling, and carving, using these techniques to explore issues of scale.
