Design And Build Unique Ceramic Table Lamps During Sunday Evening Workshops At Black Hound Clay Studio


Join instructor Claire Engelhardt at Black Hound Clay Studio South for a specialized handbuilding course focused on creating unique ceramic table lamps. This class bridges the gap between artistic expression and functional design, allowing students to explore the construction of both small and large lamp forms. Participants will utilize coiling and slab building techniques to create their structures, while also addressing the technical challenges inherent in working with clay, such as shrinkage and electrical wiring.


Weekly demonstrations provide comprehensive coverage of essential topics, including advanced glazing techniques and the structural requirements for building larger, more complex pieces. One-on-one guidance is a key component of the course, ensuring that each student receives the support needed to bring their specific vision to life. The tuition includes a complete lighting kit and LED bulb for every participant, making it easy to complete a fully functional lamp by the end of the term.


This course is intended for students who have previously completed at least one beginning-level handbuilding class, providing the necessary foundation for these more ambitious projects. The supportive studio environment is designed to encourage experimentation and creativity, allowing participants to refine their skills while tackling the unique demands of lamp construction. By focusing on both the artistic and technical aspects of the craft, the class ensures that every finished lamp is a high-quality, usable work of art.


By the conclusion of the course, participants will have successfully completed a functional and artistic table lamp, showcasing their expanded handbuilding skills. This project-based approach offers a deep dive into the complexities of ceramic design, leaving students with a sense of pride in their craftsmanship. Whether you are interested in lighting design or simply want to challenge your handbuilding abilities, this Sunday evening class provides the perfect opportunity to create something truly special.
