In this class, Libby will guide participants as they explores clay’s limitless creative forms at the artist’s handbuilding fingertips. This four-week course focuses on slab-building techniques and approaches while considering the whole clay process in service of each participants’ vision. Participants will learn to work with slabs to accomplish creative sculptural and functional projects.
About Libby:
Libby Hawk, a multidisciplinary artist, explores various mediums — paper, clay, canvas —marrying form to color. The artist mixes her own glazes to craft individual clay surfaces designed for each vessel. Intrigued by ceramic history, she often looks to the past while creating contemporary clay art. Libby has been included in national and regional shows, receiving multiple awards, including the Halo Arts Fellowship. A graduate of Mount Holyoke College, Libby studied at the Ruskin School of Art, in Oxford, England and earned an MFA from the City University of New York. After a career in New York advancing human rights and women’s equality, she resumed her full-time art practice in 2017. New to Brevard, she looks forward to getting to know and contributing to the community.
