Figuring the Face and Facing the Figure: Portraiture In Sculpture, Polychrome, and Adornment

In this class we will make object-images of the human figure in contemporary style. Our approach will include glazed-ceramics, metal, plaster, glass, and copper-enameling. We will explore strategies of poly-chroming (coloring) three-dimensional forms, concepts of decoration, jewelry, and clothing. Digital photography will be used throughout to record, analyze, and invent. This class will be based on close individual instruction within a collaborative workshop atmosphere.
