EVENT-Hybrid sculptures inspired by John Hoyland: Sat April 12: 10:30am - 4:30pm

GROUP CLASS: 7-10 people

In this special event you'll be guided through the process of forming clay to hand build a sculpture inspired by a walk-round of the John Hoyland ‘These Mad Hybrids’ and ‘Strange Presence’ exhibitions. Once getting to grips with the clay, the shape and form is up to you to design.

The session will start with some time spent in the exhibitions taking notes, sketches or photos to find your sources of inspiration, followed by exploring various hand building techniques that will allow you to create your own 'mad hybrid' sculpture. There will be a break for lunch (lunch is not provided), and the afternoon will be your time to finalise the design and to decorate your sculpture using bright coloured slips.

The final pieces will be finished in a transparent gloss glaze and fired in a kiln off-site, ready to collect from the Millennium Gallery approximately three weeks later.

This is a hand building class and therefore a potters wheel will NOT be used.

This class will run off site at-

The Millennium Gallery, 48 Arundel Gate, City Centre, Sheffield. S1 2PP

Tickets are available to book on Eventbrite.
