Learn how to translate ideas of nature and abstraction into three-dimensions through the medium of clay. Combine your observations of the forms and textures of the natural world with your imagination to create sculptures that capture the graceful lines, fluid forms, and intricate patterns of leaves, bark and branches, flowers, animal matter, and geological features. Students are encouraged to explore traditional and contemporary treatment of subject matter, with abstract expression encouraged to capture the essence and beauty of organic objects. Open to all levels; no experience necessary.
