Looking to Make, Making to Look
With Stanton Hunter
July 13 – 18, 2025
Through hands-on clay projects, discussions, and visual exercises, we’ll cover both “tricks” to make work look interesting (contemporary 3D design), and more importantly, jog and open up ways of seeing and thinking that deepens your own aesthetic, and widen the sense of making strategies available to you. If you feel a little stuck in your approach to clay, this will be fun and helpful, and literally eye-opening! For both potters and sculptors.
The objective is to get potters and sculptors thinking and seeing beyond technique, opening up one’s aesthetic sensibilities and opening possibilities of different strategies. In short, getting unstuck, deeper, and more creative with one’s work. Objectives met through hands-on projects with clay (regarding strategies and contemporary 3D design), visual experiments, discussion and images.

Will I need to work outside of class?: No, but students can put in more time depending on their interest.
Do I need experience to take this class?: No, just a more-than-mild interest in the topic, and ceramics.
What do I need to bring to class?: Dress to get a little dirty, but not massively dirty. A notebook and pen is needed.
Minimum age of participant: 18
What can I expect to create?: One project made up of 3 sculpted objects, then cut up and reassembled. They may not make it through firing, and are more an exercise than about getting a finished project. But it will forever be in their hands (and eye).
