Carving Bas-Relief
Carving Bas-Relief
A one-time session: Friday, October 10th, 5pm - 8pm
$120 per person; $80 for current studio members
Bring dimension to functional and sculptural work with bas-relief! Also known as low relief, this technique will help you add depth to illustrative work, enhance surface design on functional ware, and expand your sculptural skillset.
Our experienced guest instructor will discuss examples of the technique, demonstrations on how to approach carving an image in relief, and provide time to practice on greenware. This workshop is recommended for students with a solid foundation in clay who are looking to expand their skills, rather than produce a specific project.
Prerequisite: Recommended for students with a solid foundational knowledge of clay in either a handbuilding or throwing practice
