12 Hour Classes
INSTRUCTOR: Hiroyuki Kimura, Fellow
COURSE: Clay Plant Making
PROJECT: Spathiphyllum (3:15 pm CLASS IS FULL)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The most important point of this class is to make not only a beautiful form, but to make it look more natural and realistic. Students will begin by creating the leaves—mixing clay and color, pressing it very thin, and cutting the leaf forms. Next students will make and paint the “flower,” the spadix and spathe (white bract leaf). Once the stems are created, they are joined with the leaves and spadix and spathe. Finally, students will fix the finished leaves into an original pot creating a well-balanced arrangement.
TIME: 12 hours. Completion is likely with students
working overtime.
POWER TOOLS: None
SKILL LEVEL: All levels
MATERIALS FEE: $55 to be collected at school. If students have taken this instructor's Calladium class in 2010, the fee is $30.
