About The Event
In this workshop students will learn to design, build, and create their own ceramic robot sculpture. We will start our sculpture by throwing clay vessels based on our robot design, then use those pieces as the building blocks to create our sculpture. Wheel techniques such as caliper measuring and throwing off the hump will be covered. Once our thrown pieces have set up, we will employ various methods of altering these vessels to use them for constructing our robot. Though this workshop will mainly cover the throwing and building of these pieces, Michael will also be showing examples and techniques for surface treatments for options to finish our robots.
