Of making a lovely sculpture to adorn your home or gallery? Do you yearn to learn alternative finishing for pieces instead of the hassle of glazing? Then this class is for you! Working large has always been a passion of mine, and I want to pass my joy of larger scale sculpture on to you. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this course you will each focus on making an individual large piece using sculptural handbuilding skills for the duration of the quarter. I will teach you to develop flexibility, discipline, and the ability to pivot when things don’t go as you planned. You will learn how to keep a ceramic piece workable for long periods of time, how to create strong, lasting work, and how to repair pieces when necessary. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis class is intended for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pottery-northwest.myshopify.com\/pages\/skill-levels-course-definitions\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLevel Up\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ceramic students, but if you are newer, have passion and dedication, then please join us in this fabulous class. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLearn more about instructor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pottery-northwest.myshopify.com\/pages\/jessica-marie-mercy\"\u003eJessica Mercy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe believe clay is for everyone!
