Learn to form realistic features and facial expressions that add depth and soul to your work. This ongoing class will teach you how to make a simple clay bust, model realistic faces, and demonstrate surface design and textures.
We will use a basic slab technique, cutting and assembling the pieces to form the bust, neck and head. Additional clay is attached to form the features, clothing and hair. Underglazes may then be applied to begin the process of painting the work with patterns and stencils, to give your piece a unique surface of coloration and design.

During this workshop, Travis will demonstrate making several Jugtown forms, as well as shapes made in NC for generations.
Attendants can use these forms as inspiration, and Travis will give help and suggestions as everyone creates the shapes as they interpret them. Travis will demonstrate pitchers, a few Jugtown vase forms, and a larger jar.
Over the course of three days, Travis will finish up each of the shapes, adding handles and embellishments, and in turn, everyone can see his techniques. His demonstrations and images that will be shown, along with hands on instruction, will help everyone find their approach to these forms.
