Walnut Creek Civic Arts:
Intro to Sculpture (Beg/Adv) - Steven Allen
More fully understand the process of working with clay and constructing sculpted ceramic objects from
functional to figurative.  Investigate broad artistic concepts like abstraction, representation, form and/or
narrative through building demonstrations, image presentations, and our own explorations in the
studio. Techniques include pinch, slab, coil and solid hand building methods.  Surface texture and
treatments both ceramic and non-traditional are also addressed.
