Question:

Does anyone knows a web site where I can learn more about making sculptures; specially ceramics?

I had done a sculpture in a class of ceramics, but I want to know more about it (By example, the techniques and materials available.)

Answer:

Any of the techniques that you used in your ceramics class can be used to make ceramic sculpture, especially hand-building (though you can certainly throw and then alter forms). Things you can try: pinching clay into the forms you want to create; coil built forms; building by addition (adding clay to more clay); building by subtraction--carving to achieve the form you want (scraping away, etc). You can even roll out a slab, and then build or twist pieces into sculptural forms. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend any website, even if I knew of one. This is one of those hands on things. You really should consider taking another class, one specifically in sculptural ceramics--and learning techniques right there in the studio. While you're at it, you might want to consider taking just general sclupture classes. Learn about working with a variety of mediums. While my Bachelor's degree is in sculptural ceramics, I've done art welding, wood sclupture, found object sculpture, mixed media sclupture, etc. The great thing about learning and mastering different mediums is that, once you're gotten through it all, you can combine mediums--truly expanding your horizons and opening your mind to more possibilities. Randal (above) had a very good idea about mould making. This is something that I learned in general scupture (I think it was Sculpture II in college), and is something that I do regularly. I'm not sure that you'll learn about making moulds in ceramics, though it's certainly worth checking out. Good luck to you! :)

A good place to go for any recipes is Food Network's website. Just like this recipe i found for pumpkin cheesecake: Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe Courtesy of Emeril Lagasse Show: The Essence of Emeril Episode: Pumpkin This recipe is available for a limited time only. Why? 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/4 cup finely ground pecans 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs 2 egg yolks 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 14 ounce can pumpkin pulp Sugared pumpkin seeds 1/4 cup caramel sauce Powdered sugar Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, get started on your crust. In a bowl combine the cracker crumbs, nuts, and cinnamon. Then stir in the butter. Press the crust mixture into the bottom and about 2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Now, make the filling. In a mixer bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Beat until fluffy. Add eggs and yolks all at once, beating on low speed just until combined. Fold in the cream and the pumpkin pulp. It will appear broken but will bake beautifully. Pour into the crust lined pan. Place on a shallow baking pan in oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center appears nearly set when shaken. Cool 15 minutes. Loosen sides of the pan, and cool for 30 minutes. Chill for 4 hours before serving. Decorate with sugared pumpkin seeds and serve with caramel sauce.
