2 days of Figurative Throwing
Join our Summer Class with Cille Grosell!
Cille hasBachelor’s Degree in Ceramic Design, and a innovative way of using clay and wheel throwing for shaping large, sculptural pieces.
Figurative Throwingis for you, who already have some experience with wheel throwing and want to refine their technique, delve deeper into form, and work purposefully with your ceramics pieces and their expression.
You should be experienced enough to at least be able to center 1 kilo of clay by yourself.
The class is a set of 2 days.
Pick a date in the calendar. The classes will be on this day + the following day at the same time. Each class is 3,5 hours.
We will work on large(ish) forms with a specific purpose, focusing on shapes and form language, proportions, and their functionality. The course emphasizes creating well-thought-out objects, where technique and aesthetics go hand in hand.
We will skip the treacherous teapot this time – but we will approach that level of complexity through lids, spouts, handles and/or hand modelled elements to your designs.
The structure of the classes is:
Day 1)
- Introduction and presentation on tradition, form, and function in ceramics. We will work with idea development, planning, and sketching of our own designs. This will be followed by wheel throwing of ceramic forms – from simple to more complex expressions.
Day 2)
- Trimming of the thrown pieces, as well as assembling details such as decorations, handles, and spouts.
- We will conclude the day with an introduction to glaze selection. The Let's Clay team will glaze your pieces for you.
Aprons are included in your class price. Even though it is a very special occasion, you don't need to wear your Sunday Best and Blue Suede Shoes, but any clothes that can go in the washer is perfect. Any clay you'll get on you comes right off.
A light vegetarian snack plus all the coffee, tea and water you could possibly drink is included in your class price.
All materials and firings of up to 3 pieces are included in your class price, and more can be added for +100 DKK/piece.
