Session 3 is a continuation of our creative series clay class. In this workshop we will explore the sculptural side of hand building through 2 engaging projects. The first will be a demonstrative piece to get your creativity flowing and the second piece will be student choice. We will go over sculptural practices the first day of class and there will be many options to choose from for the students’ choice.
If you didn’t join us for the first 2 workshops and you have experience please consider joining us. This will be an engaging, fun and creative clay class that you’re sure to learn from and come away with an amazing sculpture and a new appreciation for 3 dimensional art. The examples shown are just that, examples of what’s possible.
About the Instructor, Deborah Mae Corona:
As a sculptural artist, I enjoy the process from the initial concept to the finished piece and the evolution that inevitably occurs during the making. I have had the extreme pleasure of being mentored by world class artists like Eric Blome, Anne Stryke and Wanxin Zhang to name a few, whom I credit with the trajectory of my career. I received my master’s of fine art from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. In a city with a history rich and diverse in both art and culture taught me that skills are important but so is the intuitive aspect that comes from years of practice. It is ingrained that an artist’s job is to interpret the world around them, but more important is that art is a universal language that the viewer doesn’t need to necessarily know or speak that the art should speak for itself. With that mindset, I strive to impart that wisdom through my teaching. Art is invaluable, it matters and that’s my goal.
