ART CLASS-

@ Gail Austin ’s Studio in the mountains, 10 minuets past Conifer on HWY 285 @ Pine Junction. Limited to 8 students   

 

Ceramic Goddess Mask/Shield making

2-part class:

“Awaken your ‘Inner Artist’ through CERAMIC MASK/SHIELDMAKING.

Come to Gail Austin ’s studio in the foothills of Colorado and experience your own creativity.  YOU, with your own hands, will create a ceramic mask or shield to adorn your walls, a beautiful expression of your SPIRIT. This fairly simple project is a star ting point or extension for those who yearn to express themselves.  Clay is a wonderful medium to work with.  We will be working with Earthenware “low fire” clay.

Part 1: Examples of masks will be on display and explained.  We learn to roll out SLABS of clay, and learn to construct our masks through a demonstration of techniques. The group will partici pat e in an optional guided meditation for inspiration and ideas for your mask.  We then design and construct our own mask. 

The mask will be dried slowly for 3 weeks and then fired in the kiln.

Part 2: Time to decorate your Mask/shield with stains and/or oxides.

Gail will do the glaze firing, and your piece will be ready for pick up the following week.

 

Plan your mask prior to class or be spontaneous! Gail will demonstrate the technical process, and give individual attention as needed. Gentle and encouraging, MASK/SHIELD making with Gail is a wonderful experience!
