Description

Thursdays, October 15 – December 10 (Class will not meet on Thanksgiving, November 26)
9 am – 12 pm

This is an 8 week class for all levels.

Longing to try something different with clay? Want to let your imagination loose? This hand-building class is for you!

Using simple pinch and coil methods and working at the pace that’s most comfortable for you, this class will support you in building simple abstract, hollow sculptural forms. You’ll learn how to roll, join, and shape coils and discover the tactile, unique quality that coil building imparts to your ceramic work.

There will be plenty of demonstrations and individual instruction throughout. This course is designed as a playful and creative process, suitable for all levels of experience– wheel throwers and hand-builders alike!

Instructor Bio

Joan Zagrobelny is a primarily self-taught ceramic artist, who has had the good fortune to study with some renowned masters of the craft. Formerly a speech pathologist committed to discovering innovative ways to teach, she has turned her creative energies to clay.

Her ceramic sculptures are hand-built, abstract forms with an extremely tactile biomorphic quality. She describes her process as meditative, with the repetitive squeezing of each coil creating a deep connection with the emerging form. The variegated texture of her sculptures, created by her fingers as she coils and pinches the forms, adds surface depth, as well as an opportunity to use multiple glaze layers, rubbed off in part to reveal underlying color.

Joan has participated in residencies at Haystack Mountain School of Craft, Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts and c.r.e.t.a Rome in Italy. Her work is frequently included in juried shows nationally and has been exhibited in galleries in Boston, Los Angeles, New York and Rome. She teaches hand building classes at several art centers on Cape Cod and resides and maintains a private studio in Sandwich, MA.
