1064 | Primal Clay
Diana Kersey
This class offers students the opportunity to learn and be involved in the entire
ceramic process—from mixing clays and glazes to firing the experimental natural
gas kiln. The claybody will be the main emphasis in this class; development of
experimental claybodies will be encouraged by combining a variety of familiar,
industrially produced clays with locally sourced clays, sands, minerals and
organic fillers. Glazing will be simple interior liner glazes and work will be
raw glazed and once-fired to cone 10 reduction. The first half of the class will
focus on testing, with the later half dedicated to finalizing a “clay palette”. All
claybodies will be mixed together as a class and no commercial clays will be
used. Claybodies will be sold to students by the pound. Prerequisites: Students
should have a strong foundation in either wheelthrowing or handbuilidng.
Students will also be responsible for mixing their own claybodies and glazes, and
be required to assist with the firing of the high fire kilns. See *CERAMIC NOTE.

parts to be assembled off the wheel. Discussions and lectures will focus on learning
and thinking about form, volume, and texture. Students will be using high-fire
clay, glazes, and slips. Prerequisite: Students should have a strong foundation in

book illustration, comic strips, comic books, and storyboarding. Its various forms
combine caricature, figure drawing, and illustration through the medium of ink
and watercolor on paper. Instruction will focus on character development, illusions
of movement, sequential staging, setting management, inking, and coloring—all
aimed towards the refinement of the student’s narratives and ideas. Bring a 9- by

Liza Collins
In nuno, or laminated felting, loose wool fibers are fused with a pre-existing
woven fabric to create stunning and highly textural effects. Using the process
of wet felting, the wool fibers that are placed on top of the pre-existing fabric
migrate through the woven structure and lock in place. As the wool fibers
shrink they pull the fabric with them causing ruching, puckering and pleating.
Nuno felts are generally lightweight, flexible, and extremely versatile for use
in making garments, accessories, or fine art pieces. No previous experience
necessary. See SSA website for a list of materials; please bring a bag lunch.

Donald Tucker
Faux Bois, or “false wood,” is a well known art form in San Antonio. These
three-dimensional sculptural representations of wood or wooden objects
employ a steel and stucco lath armature which is then coated with cementbased media. Tooling of the final cement coat creates the illusion of wood grain
and bark texture. This five-day intensive will provide the basic skills, techniques

forms. Finishing options and coloring techniques will also be covered. Each

This class deals only with the use of the unique neat Portland paste finishing
formulations that distinguish the more highly detailed works associated

“impossible” to employ by many experts, but when mastered, can yield
a level of detail comparable to most sculpting clays. Since none of the
basic construction considerations are covered during this class, it is highly
recommended that students possess a fundamental familiarity with armature
development and sculpting, as well as a working knowledge of basic cement
formulating and mixing, if they are to get the most from this course.
