Description:
John Toki is considered a technical expert in ceramics. He has created over hundreds of glazes, built an entire line of kilns, and wrote an introductory ceramic text entitled ‘Hands in Clay’ that explains techniques of how to work in clay. His outdoor freestanding clay sculptures are seen across America, and his engineering skills to produce large format clay sculptures has been taught and passed onto over a hundred of artists.
In this workshop, Toki will create a small free-standing sculpture made of colored clay, stoneware, and porcelain from start to finish. Toki will teach how to plan and execute a 4’ x 3' standing sculpture while focusing on techniques of structural design elements, steel armatures, connections, reinforcing with fiber glass, color tinting, and kiln firing methods.
