We will focus on using traditional coil and pinch techniques to create intentional forms. How does your pot or sculptural work fit in space? Paying attention to volume and its effect on both positive and negative space, students will concentrate on a series of related pieces. Rims, outer surface and interior spaces will be considered. Forms in nature(bones, shells, seed pods) along with the artwork of Eva Hilde, Richard Devore, and Jennifer Lee, will provide inspiration.

Moderate to Advanced Level Class: Students must be proficient hand builders with coiling/pinching experience and the ability to work independently. Students must have taken at least two 6-week handbuilding courses with BAC (or equivalent).

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this course will be Wednesday, October 19. BAC will prorate students for any classes missed due religious observation and high holidays on which classes are scheduled. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)

Each student (age 14+) is required to have a current Proof of Vaccination Form on file with BAC. Please fill out and submit a form prior to the first day of your class.

Masks will be mandatory for this class with Paula Shalan at this time. Please review updated COVID Safety Plan HERE.
