Working through a Sculpture: From creation to Installation
with Jinsik Yoo
Course Schedule:
1st Sundays // 3-5pm EST
Course Description:
This course is designed to guide students through the entire process of creating ceramic sculpture — from the initial concept to the finished piece. Students will develop individual projects, choosing their studio practices while thoroughly exploring the material properties and expressive potential of clay as a sculptural medium.
In addition to the making process, the course will cover key considerations related to presentation, installation, and transportation of sculptural works, offering practical strategies for real-world applications.
Sessions will be flexibly structured based on the group’s needs and may include demonstrations, lectures, and discussions. Guest lectures will be arranged according to participants’ interests, and regular critique and feedback sessions will give students opportunities to reflect on and improve their ongoing work.
Registration opens October 19th at 10am Central Time
