Kathy Triplett is conducting a clay hand-building workshop for Shakerag
Workshops, in Sewanee, TN, entitled "Sconces to Wall Sculpture. Complete
information about the workshop can be seen at the Shakerag Workshops website
-- www.shakerag.org. The workshop will be held from June 20-25, 2004.
Tuition for the week-long workshop is $375; room and board is $300.
Triplett in this workshop will focus on the ways that she textures and
manipulates slabs of clay to create the shapes that compose her sculptural
wall reliefs. The extended pinch method will be demonstrated as a means of
building large sculptural forms. An innovative way of combining kiln slumped
glass and clay to create a lighted wall sconce will also be explored.
Triplett will also demonstrate the ways in which she achieves a variety of
her surfaces: from terra-sigillatas, to layering and carving of underglazes,
and various sculptural glazes. Construction and installation of wall pieces
and tiles will also be discussed. Skill level: Beginner to Advanced
