Flat to Fabulous

28 Mar 2015

Get your hands dirty at Arrowhead Artists and Artisans League in this two-day, hands-on workshop. Instructor Wendy Converse begins with a lump of clay, rolls it into sheet and then the fun begins. Participants experiment with applying texture to soft slabs using found objects, clay stamps, stencils and more. Make various forms starting with a simple cylinder, then alter it by stretching, pinching, darting and generally pushing the clay around. Discuss the importance of form and pay particular attention to functional details and finishing touches. When finished, the creations will be nothing short of fabulous. Open to all levels of experience, including "none". $100 members; $125 for non members, plus $25 supply fee. Limited to 4 students so sign up early! For more information, call 828-668-1100.
