Middlebury Studio School

Join our Guest Instructor, Ginger Birdsey, who will guide students through the process of creating a figurative sculpture of a head & shoulders. Learn a variety of methods including using coils, slabs & pinching, while focusing on the proportion of the face. Start with a few exercises to explore and stretch this versatile medium while discovering the possibilities of how your sculpture may evolve.
Once the sculptures are created, surface treatments to enhance pieces will be demonstrated. Learn how to use underglazes as well as techniques for mixing colors to achieve skin tones. This workshop is well suited for students who have some experience working with clay, and are interested in expanding their repertoire of skills. Students will purchase (cone 6) clay at the workshop, other materials will be included. Each student will create 1 sculpture to be fired. Int./Advanced
