Wall Vase
Cone Vase with Stretched Texture
Deconstructing the Cone
What You Will Learn?
- Making basic geometric forms out of slabs is an essential skill. Most sculptures are composed of a combination of forms like cones, cubes, spheres and cylinders or fragments of said forms. We'll start with easy soft slab cone construction which can be used as wall vases. Then we'll experiment with stretched textured slabs as we make a whimsical cone vase. Finally, we'll work with hard slabs as we deconstruct the cone and practice putting multiple forms together. Deconstruction is a great way to play with art elements like balance, symmetry, weight and negative space. .
- Since this is an intermediate class you should already know how to slip and score, roll out a slab of clay and manage the moisture level of your slabs. Alright, let's get started!.
