Sculptural and functional forms in clay

In this class students will create small sculptural work that focuses on the integration of textured surfaces on their pieces. Sculptural pieces could be modeled on creatures such as woolly bear caterpillars, sea slugs, or cottonwood tree bark. Towards the end of class, we will spray glazes on the work to accentuate the texture.
