“Thematic Research + Accumulative Installation: the essentials of research, planning and producing your specific project with multiple ceramic parts” is a five day workshop open to artists who are looking to make bigger more complicated thematic work. Each participant should be skilled in their personal way of making (ie- throwing, coil building, slab building, press molds, or slip-casting) and be seeking to make more complicated installations. 

Projects at any stage are welcome. The week will be full of personal research discussions + demonstrations of practical project management and creation. We will investigate the workmanship of risk, project ideation, methods for making many ceramic parts (templates, tracings and molds), cost-effective glazing applications, designing new ways, assembling with glues, screws and grout, consider hanging/installation mechanisms + installation techniques. 

This workshop will give you freedom in the studio to think big with small parts!

Participant Required Materials:

• Clay + glazes of choice 
• Basic Clay Tools 
• Apron
• Sketchbook +/or computer
