Course Description

Using templates and impressing patterns to hand build ceramic forms.

Working with clay templates is a rewarding means to and end. Sensuous shapes and graceful forms appear effortlessly. Boxes magically sprout fitting lids with cool handles and cups find comfort in the hands of their creator. Masterfully built trays emerge from ordinary clay slabs full of surface interest enhanced by just the right finish...and it's all brought about by beginning with a simple template!

Barbara Hanselman

Barbara Hanselman's Website I started my adventure in clay 20 years ago and am recognized by my hand built whimsical pots and terra sigillata enhanced ceramic clay beads. My clay work has been acknowledged with awards at Strictly Functional Pottery Nationals and the Pennsylvania Guild Exhibitions in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and at several area art center shows. Lark Books chose two of my bowls to appear in their 2003 publication, "500 Bowls" and selected my transfer printed bowl, “What’s in a Word…” to appear in their 2006 publication, “Image Transfer on Clay.” My classes/workshops on Clay Hand Building Techniques, Clay Rattles and Making Beads in Clay are offered at local art centers and my clay work is available for purchase online as well as through select galleries.
