Patterned Expressions: Sculpting Your Memories into Vessels
YoonJee Kwak
Tuition $1,910
Code C1114-25
This course focuses on artist Yoonjee Kwak’s unique hand building technique in which clay coils and bits are accumulated outward and upward, in a technique similar to fiber weaving but in clay. Demonstrations cover a range of sculptural vessels from functional cups to larger moon jars. Over the course of two weeks, participants investigate the beauty of progressive, meditative growth of building one coil at a time.
