Participants gather via Zoom.
About the Studio Session
What is a wall? When is a wall a wall (a material mass) and when does it become something else (a sculpture or a symbol, perhaps)? When is a wall an impenetrable entity and when is it a permeable barrier? When does a wall contain, house, divide, or perform multiple of these actions at once? What is the work of walls?
In this Studio Session we look at the how and why of wall building and its relationship to ceramics. We consider the building materials of walls from brick to concrete, the workers who have historically built walls and their labor organizing based upon wall building, and the work that walls perform once made. The out-of-print, pocket-sized book from 1927, Little Blue Book No.1232, Practical Masonry: Cement and Brick Work, will become our guide for abstractly translating pragmatic and conceptual questions about the work of walls into the work of clay.

Registration opens November 29th at 12pm PST
