Portfolio 1 and 2 will be working with a variety of clay bodies including porcelain, white and red stoneware, dark brown stoneware, and speckled clay. At this level they choose which clay body properties best align with their personal goals.
Check out the helpful material on the table in front of Portfolio artist Julia Bennett! Toilet paper! Julia is using TP to strengthen her porcelain clay for this slabs.
CV Clay Studio Alumni Alex Pottinger has sent us another wonderful update. Alex graduated for CV in 2003 and has been teaching art at Crestview High School in Florida. Awesome thrown work!
Covid has motivated Clay Club to purchase table top travel wheels.We have 4 wheels that will rotate through Portfolio Clay Club members. These wheels will get loads of use for many years to come.
Last school year when we shut down for Covid, the spring time was an ideal time for a local clay hunt lesson.Portfolio artist Adrianne Sobrevilla located dug, and processed her own clay.For more info go to my YouTube channel m.youtube.com/watch?v=ktTo8s…
A great big thank you to Kristi Jordan, Tom Dexter, and Betsy Kerr for their help preparing glazes for Portfolio artists to take home next week! An amazing help with material prep!
Portfolio 1 and 2 are working hard to produce wheel work. We will rise to the challenge of selling our art work this year. It will be a great lesson on the challenges that professional artists are facing selling work during Covid.
This week we focused on organizing our art materials which is the foundation of fantastic art making while hybrid learning. We made 3 stacks: Leave at school, leave at home, and travel kit. We are ready for a super productive year! Let the art making begin!
