rel•i•quar•y: a container or shrine where relics or other precious objects are kept
In this hands-on workshop students will use personal imagery to create a precious object from porcelain and a reliquary to house it. Niches, doorways and windows will be used to alternately hide and reveal inner treasures.
Basic hand-building techniques will be utilized as well as mark making and carving to help develop surface and narrative. The layering of glazes, slips, stains and oxides to achieve weathered antique surfaces in cone six oxidation firing will also be shared.
Please bring to class 2-3 items of personal significance to you and a willingness to explore.
Open to all skill levels.
