Handbuilding with Paper Clay – A Jerry Bennett Workshop

Friday, Feb. 1 – Evening lecture , 6:30-8pm $260
Saturday & Sunday, Feb. 2-3, Workshop 10am-5pm 

Many of the rules that govern regular clay do not apply to paper clay. Jerry Bennett, a leading international paper clay artist, will conduct a hands-on workshop that provides an opportunity for students to explore and experience new approaches to functional pottery and sculptural forms using paper clay.

Join visiting artist, Jerry Bennett, as he guides you through how to make paper clay and bonding slips for hand-built forms. In this two-day workshop, expand your understanding of this unique material by adding various fibers to the clay to make both functional pottery and sculptural forms. Gain valuable insight as Jerry shares practical, problem-solving advice related to your studio work (i.e. how to fix broken work, reduce shrinkage in clay, and prevent cracks).

Participants in the hands-on workshop will receive clay materials and handouts that will provide valuable information about paper clay, glaze formulas, supplier information.   Jerry will give an open lecture on Friday, Feb. 1 to discuss paper clay and his unique approach to it.
