Be a champion of faces! In this hands-on workshop, learn how to compose a human portrait with simple pinch pots. This construction will be the base for a proportionally correct sculpture. Features will be added using an easy formula so that everything is properly placed. Students will be taught to carefully observe facial anatomy and turn those observations into realistic portraits using modeling techniques and texture-making methods. Once you’ve learned the system, it’s very easy to make more! Students will take home a leather-hard sculpture, suitable for future firing.
Mike Lalone started his clay career at a teacher re-certification class which led to full time teaching of ceramics for 21 years at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Florida. His program grew into one of the most respected clay programs in the country. Val Cushing, Paul Soldner, Chris Staley and other ceramic greats visited his students during the time Mike was teaching there. Mike was awarded the Daniel Clark Excellence in Teaching award in New York City and various other local and state awards. His students earned many scholarships and several have gone on to teach in various schools. Mike did work at the Kansas City Art Institute and Alfred University to further his studies. Mike also has shown work and been collected in China, Japan and Europe, as well as the Florida Governor's Mansion. Mike has been active in both hand building (several sculpture commissions) and wheel work (functional ash glaze ware in galleries across the country) during his career. His love of teaching has taken him to the John C. Campbell Folk School where he is the Resident Potter.
