New member information session
This information session is for people interested in joining the Sunshine Coast Art Group pottery and art groups.
We have new member intakes 3 to 4 times a year. At the session we will give potential new members details about how we operate and everything you need to know to become a member.
New members to the pottery will also have to undertake a half day induction.
Two-day animal sculpture workshop with James Ort
James Ort has been teaching this popular class for years now. He specialises in a form of contemporary clay modelling which pushes clay to its limits. The technique is fast, easy to learn and with it comes life, energy and grace to the creations.
DAY 1: Wall-mounted portrait heads.
Make the head of any animal of your choice be it mammal, bird, reptile or amphibian! You will make an armature and then be adding clay by breaking down the head into key muscle groups and shapes.
DAY 2: Dynamic wall-mounted mammals.
The more challenging part of the course is making a full-bodied mammal that gives a sense of life, movement and dynamism. You will learn how to observe and understand the anatomy of your chosen subject, and then how to contort your form to capture a moment in time.
This course includes:
o Step-by-step demonstrations covering…
o How to build an armature for wall-mounted animal heads and dynamic poses. o How to apply the clay to best capture the animal’s anatomy and features o How to create expressive facial features and give your piece character o How to glaze your work using underglazes
What is included in the price?
o Two full days teaching (9am-4.30pm) o A printed course handout outlining the technique’s main principles o Clay, firings and glazes o A glazing demonstration. o Lunch, Tea/Coffee/biscuits o First firing of your art once ready for the kiln.
