4 Week Sculptural Workshop | Saturdays | April 6th-27th 2024

This workshop led by master sculptor Debbie Corona will demonstrate the hand building technique of creating relief tiles, which means raised surface. Like the previous vessel workshop, the relief tile has been around a long time dating back to about 4000BC. They served 2 main purposes; to cover surfaces and for storytelling. They have evolved over time and are still being used in both forms today as well as for decoration. Students will be creating a wall piece using 4 tiles that when put together make a whole piece. We will be using metal rings to “attach” as well as a hanging mechanism at the top. We will be using a variety of relief or raised surfaces for this project. Students will create through visual demonstrations. 

Students will need to provide their own apron or work clothes. Ceramics can be rather messy, closed toes shoes and lidded water bottles need to be used. All other supplies and materials will be provided.
