Earth Arts

Course Description:

Earth, Fire and Water

This is an art led sculpture course taught by experienced practitioners, a well-established and talented young ceramicist Rupert Johnstone and pioneering cob artists Jackie Abey and Jill Smallcombe. This course explores both fired and unfired earth materials ranging from clay to cob. Students will be given a comprehensive understanding of earth materials with extensive technical back up. With individual and group projects students will create simple forms enabling them to explore the scope and feel of these materials. Through this gained knowledge and understanding, students will then have a free hand to be ambitious and to realise their own work, fired and/or unfired.
