Hand Building with Slab Clay

All Levels
Studio
5 Day class (9am-4pm)
Tuition: $275
Materials: $50

Students will use a variety of forms, molds, press boxes, and found objects to shape, mold and decorate. The medium will be a raku clay body which can be decorated with a variety of commercial glazes and simple copper glaze chemistry. A pit-fire will be the culmination of the effort.

Local artist, Mark Rademacher, has a B.F.A. degree from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. He has been both a potter and a woodworker for over thirty years. Mark is currently exhibiting at the River Market Artspace in Little Rock, the Enigma Gallery in Fayetteville, and the Quicksilver Art and Fine Craft Gallery in Eureka Springs. In 2007, he won first place for his three-dimensional work in the Eureka Springs Artists' Registry Third Annual Fall Art Fair.
