Hand Building and Sculpture

Make Monday mornings the best by charging your creativity for the week! We will plan the trajectory of our 8 weeks together as a group, creating lessons and conversations to support each other's work. Topics covered will include making a batch of communal paper clay, hand building skills for vessels and sculpture, surface decoration, and glazing techniques. 

About the instructor:

Megan Adams Irving is a painter, ceramic artist, and administrator at the Smithy Clay Studio. She has a degree in studio art from Bard College where she primarily studied painting. Her pursuit of clay and ceramic art has been largely self-driven with the support of the local clay community including Elizabeth Nields' workshops and the teaching artists at Smithy Clay Studio. Irving has exhibited her work in artist-run pop-up spaces and more traditional venues, including the Martin-Mullen Galleries at SUNY Oneonta, the Samuel S. Dorsky Museum, New Paltz, NY, the Corcoran College of Art Design, Washington, D.C., and locally, at the Smithy Gallery, The Art Garage, the Community Arts Network of Oneonta and Roxbury Arts Group.
