CERAMIC: Constructing Wheel Thrown Forms
Shawn Spangler

ONLINE REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED. You may register in person at the first class (5:00 pm Friday 3/28).
STRUCTURED COMPOSITIONS: CONSTRUCTING WHEEL THROWN FORMS
Complex, articulated pots are often created by assembling multiple wheel thrown parts. Using porcelain clay, students will begin by creating a variety of components on the wheel, and will then play with editing and arranging these components to make dynamic composite forms. Handles, spouts and lids will then be incorporated to add complexity to the forms. Demonstrations and conversations will address elements of design such as scale, proportion, line and volume. Basic throwing experience is necessary.

Shawn Spangler is is a Pennsylvania native, currently living and working in Hawaii. His work draws inspiration from craft, industrial design and digital technology. The installation projects he produces raise questions concerning authorship and commoditization of objects, highlighting the connections and margins between digital and analog processes of producing ceramic vessels. Spangler holds a Masters of Fine Arts degree from Alfred University and Bachelors of Fine Arts from Pennsylvania State University.
