Our class will focus on using clay to create works of three dimensional art. We will have a variety of different experiences that allow for an overall understanding of the material, and being creative during the process. We will create new forms, using many different processes, such as coil building and pinching to create forms. 

​

Three dimensional art allows for the creative process to come through, through formation of ideas, and then taking those ideas, and creating forms. Then decoration and glazing is also a huge part of this process which will further allow for creative exploration.
