SHSM Program – Advanced Training in a Skill Visual Arts: Clay Sculptures
How can the relationship between form and function influence the creation of your sculpture?
Program Description
Our SHSM programs allow students to gain a certificate for participation in a three-hour workshop as required by the Ontario Ministry of Education. In this workshop, will work with one of our Educators to explore the fundamental techniques of ceramics: slab, pinch pot and coil. Students will be encouraged to combine two or more shapes to create their own clay sculpture. Students will also engage in a Q&A with a current Artist-in-Residence from Harbourfront Centre’s Craft and Design Studio.
