Description

Making, attaching, and altering forms to build creative (functional or sculptural) structures/vessels will be the primary skills covered in this workshop with Megan Adams Irving. We will focus on select handbuilding skills like pinch pots, slab, and coil. A suggested project, suitable for completion during the 4-week class will be provided but students are welcome to work more independently. This is a great time to finish projects with an instructor's guidance before the holiday break.

She received her degree in studio art from Bard College where she focused on painting. To her, clay is a painterly medium with endless creative possibilities.
