Students bring a personal item to the studio that has significance to them. It could be a family heirloom, a stone they like, or even a type of gum packaging that appeals to them. Through considering the meaning of this object to them, students will transform it into a large handbuilt clay sculpture, and overlay a personal narrative through altering the form. Any technique can be used, but special attention will be given to coil-building and sculptures can be anywhere from 15 – 20 inches tall. The finished sculpture will commemorate a person, event, or idea.
