sfclayworks was excited to announce that ceramics artist Tip Toland would be in our studio for a demonstration workshop, but unfortunately due to the Covid-19 crisis we have cancelled this event. We hope that sometime in the future we may be able to reschedule; we are very dissapointed to miss out on this opportunity.
Tip’s attention to detail is phenomenal; her ability to capture the surface quality of her subjects is truly amazing. Please read the workshop description below for more details. Do not miss this opportunity to learn more about how Tip creates her masterpieces.

Workshop Description:
Tip will demonstrate how to put together an armature for a life size, and also a twice life size portrait bust. On the life size armature Tip will begin massing in clay to make a portrait. Tip will also speak about the “Rules of Thumb” for proportion, gender and ethnic differences. The artist will demonstrate how to create the features referring to the planes of the underlying skull. By the end of the day there will be a person, but not yet with expression.
On the second day, Tip will talk all about expression and what muscle changes happen with each expression. She will also talk about age and show some of the effects of aging. For the last few hours she demonstrate the hollowing technique and give an overview of the cold finishing process after firing.
