Build Big

The scale of your artwork shouldn’t be limited by kiln size. Making modular sculpture is an accessible and sustainable approach for working in large-scale. In this course we will learn methods of building large-scale ceramic sculpture including historic and contemporary techniques, and the concept and politics of parts and seams. Over the course of 5 class meetings you will build a tall sculpture in at least 2 parts. Learn More.
