“Sleepy” Face Pinch Pot

Service Description

Sign Ups Open January 9th at 11am! Sunday, March 15th 11am-5pm (1 hour lunch break) Clayroom SoMa, 375 9th Street Description: In this handbuilding workshop, students will create a "sleepy” pinch pot, learning the fundamentals of figurative face sculpting in clay. Using simple pinch-pot construction as a base, participants will build personality and emotion into their forms through features, texture, and subtle shaping techniques. The "sleepy" design is inspired by a reflection of Camila's own family and can be altered to reflect your own! Bring a photo or even a mirror to use as a reference in studying facial details that will be translated through clay. Camila Lim-Hing is a ceramic artist based in Brooklyn, New York.
