Clay and Body Memory

This course will focus on the physical and psychic
relationships between the ceramic object and the
human body as well as clay's ability to capture
and make permanent the otherwise transitory nature
of a gesture. We will generate work that
necessitates touch (wearables, interactive
sculpture, relational and community building
aesthetics) in addition to static work that speaks
to the physical presence of the maker or viewer
relative to the object/sculpture. We will explore
the use of imprint, line, replica, text and color
to convey meaning.
