Since this class uses both clay as well as additional items to create assemblage work, you will need to resource much of what you want to incorporate into your pieces. In the class, we will discuss what items/ideas such as “found objects” that you will want to bring on a week by week basis to complete your projects.  In some cases, the instructor may have items for inclusion in your pieces and advise you if there is a small charge to purchase them.  We will discuss where and how you can find nearby shops, etc. to mine items for mixed media/assemblage work.
