Summer 2023: Creature Double Feature with Steve Palmer, Two Day Workshop
This workshop will focus on designing and constructing an animal with a combination of techniques including slab, coil, modeling with both reductive and additive processes. Whether you create a replica of a real animal, one totally from your imagination, or an abstract suggestion of an animal you will learn sculptural techniques that can be used for many other forms of clay sculpture. Humans have been sculpting animals for at least 26,000 years, now its your turn. Enjoy!

| Instructor: | Steve Palmer |
| Instructor Bio: | My passion for working in clay took off while I was a Studio Member of the South County Art Association. The opportunity to work and teach in a creative, supportive environment, surrounded by artists for me is the ideal. I received my B.F.A. from Rhode Island College, and studied sculpture in Italy at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. As a member of SCAA and City Clay, I continue to explore the many forms and functions of clay. Through teaching, I hope to share and ignite the same passion and excitement in my students that I have for the ceramic form. |
