$85.00

Evening Workshop
6-9PM

Join visiting artist Amy Henson for a hands-on workshop exploring slab-built forms using drape molds and pukis. This class will guide students through methods for creating dynamic, structured shapes by combining soft slabs with supportive molds and found forms.

The first half of the session will focus on surface design, where students will explore ways to enhance their slabs through texture, carving, and decorative approaches before construction begins. In the second half, attention shifts to construction. Students will use slabs over and molds to assemble pieces with function and visual impact in mind.

Ideal for students of all skill level who are looking to expand their handbuilding vocabulary and develop more interesting work.
