Fish | by Maryann Cord
A day to be silly, explore limitless possibilities of the imagination, and have fun creating. Participants will create their own fantastical animal spirit vessel from clay, learn slab and hand-building techniques, and explore texture and mark-making using ordinary objects and stamps. Participants will also explore the use of oxides, under-glazes and mason stains to add color and depth to the clay. Pieces made during the workshop include the cost of kiln firing and will be fired and made available for pickup at a later date.

About the Instructor
 Maryann Michalski Cord works freestyle sculpting clay with her hands, combining figures and faces - hand built original portraits born of earthen clay expressing spirit, emotion, myth, dreams, and ancient tradition. Utilizing a once-fired method Cord brushes mason stains, oxides, and other pigments directly onto the raw unfired clay in a painterly fashion before firing. From time to time Cord's work pays homage to Beatrice Wood's unique approach to the sculptural forms she called Sophisticated Primitives often portrayed in the nude, and designed to evoke a reaction. A museum enthusiast and avid world traveler, Cord has always been fascinated and inspired by works of art from the ancient world. Her work lives in private collections around the world.
