SHARDS AND SANTOS- IN TAOS
This was a fantastic experience - read the description and watch for a repeat next year.
In this workshop, we will create personal assemblages inspired by iconic neo-santo figures. In the first class, we will construct handmade textured slab-based clay components such as heads, bodies, and enhancements. We will also learn to make hand-crafted clay press molds. These components will be fired once. The next week, we will build our figure, incorporating found objects such as bones and shells and bleached twigs into the final assemblage and perhaps include cherished objects and hidden words. We will explore the limitless possibilities of cold finishes, such as metallics and beeswax, to enhance the surfaces of the unglazed earthenware components.
