This workshop takes place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 2, 3, & 4, with an additional session on Friday, May 9. To get the most out of this workshop, students should already be comfortable with hand-building techniques, including pinch, coil, and slab building. If you've taken a hand-building class with Jeanine before, you're eligible for this course. Please note, this is not a class for total beginners. The pace is moderate, but we’ll cover a lot of information, and we’ll be working on a larger scale, building on your existing skills.

During the workshop, we’ll use hand-building techniques to create heads and shoulders in clay. Working with kiln-fired paper clay, Jeanine will break down the face into sections and provide simple instructions for crafting facial features like eyes, noses, mouths, teeth, and ears. After that, we’ll create the torso and neck separately and assemble everything together.

On days 1-3, we’ll focus on creating the head and torso, which will be bisque-fired during the week between sessions. On the 4th day, we’ll dive into underglaze layering techniques and paint facial details onto the bisque-fired pieces. The final glaze firing will complete your work, which will be ready for pickup within a few weeks.

The workshop fee includes all firings, clay, glazes, and take-home tutorials. Basic tools are provided by the studio, but a list of additional tools will be emailed to you by Jeanine.

Workshop has limited space.
