Clay Relief Tile Workshop

HCCC Uploaded by Layla Bispo
Join current resident artist Sarah Knight to create a dimensional and experimental, hanging wall relief tile using inclusions of locally sourced, natural materials. Knight’s practice includes fusing clay sculptures with melted stone and a range of non-clay additives to create sculptures that blend the artificial with the natural. Participants will explore texture, learn sculpting and carving techniques, and experiment with surface decoration using found materials to create layered designs on clay. Finished pieces will be approximately 8 x 8 inches and will incorporate locally foraged clay, slips, sand, shells, rocks, and leaves.
