You will build a 25" full figure using the Córdova Method, a versatile slab-building technique that works at different scales. You will learn all about the ancient technique of pit-firing to create incredible surface qualities from a master artist. You will learn how to harvest and process your own native clay to connect to your practice in a deeper way and open innumerable surface possibilities. 

The cost of the course  is $2735-$3025 (depending on lodging selection) and includes instruction from 3 teachers, studio assistant's support, clay, all materials, firings (bisque, surface firings, wood-pit fire), a welcome dinner and all lunches throughout the class.

All lunches will be vegetarian and gluten free with dairy free options whenever applicable. If you have additional dietary needs we'll offer a menu at the beginning of class so you can anticipate when to bring lunch alternatives to suit your needs. 

This is an intense, fast-paced workshop that will transform your creative practice and inspire lifelong friendships. In order to participate, you must be healthy and capable of walking in uneven, mountainous terrain and lifting at least 25 pounds (a bag of clay) on your own.
