This is a four-part workshop led by Aisha Harrison. Participants will respond to the work on view in the exhibition, tomakesenseofitall, by conceptualizing and creating a small sculpture which will then be fired.
Session 1: July 9, 2025: 10:30 am-12 pm
During the first workshop, we will gather in the gallery to look at the artwork and consider which work(s) to respond to. Participants will have an opportunity to do a guided writing activity and then make small clay sketches (maquettes) to flesh out their ideas.
Session 2: July 11, 5:30 pm -7:00 pm
Participants will consider their maquettes and choose a direction for their sculpture. Aisha will talk about solid building and participants will construct their pieces using the solid building method and low-tech armature solutions (where necessary).
Session 3: July 23, 10:30 am-12:00 pm
Participants will put the finishing touches on their sculptures. Aisha will demonstrate how to hollow, followed by hands-on practice.
Session 4: July 25, 5:00 pm-6:30 pm
Participants will finish hollowing and reflect on the process. The pieces will be fired at TAM and participants will be invited to pick up their pieces when they are ready.
Please confirm the above schedule works for you before registering. By registering, you are committing to attending all four sessions as this will be a set cohort. There is limited capacity for these workshops.
