Design Studio: Contemporary Ceramics as Inspiration for Your Own Work, with Sue Wadoski

This class will use the study of contemporary ceramics as inspiration for our own work.We will examine the work of influential artists, discover and discuss what about the work moves or inspires us, and use those ideas as a guide for our ongoing projects.

The instructor will introduce work by a variety of artists and will ask students to do their own research as well, with some sources provided. Each student will choose an artist to emulate and make a body of work focusing on developing ideas and forms influenced by that artist. Class time will be devoted to making work, one-on-one consultation, and demos. Demos will be related to the specific artists the students choose. We will use hand-building, wheel, and combined techniques. For intermediate and advanced students.
