CLASS DESCRIPTION
“Chance favors the prepared mind.” – Louis Pasteur
Susannah Israel returns to the Mendocino Art Center with more unique and innovative ways to conceive, construct, and finish ceramic sculpture. In this class we will review both image and content, delving into our own private cast of characters and using them as a source for expressing meaningful imagery and deeply personal ideas. Bring your sketchbook, tools and a sense of adventure.
