About
This 8 class session focuses on learning about clay as a medium: the transitions from greenware, to bone dry, bisque ware, and ceramic. Students will not only learn different hand-building techniques such as coiling, pinch pots, slab work, carving, and sculptural embellishments, but also how to glaze with both underglazes and medium fire glazes. Artist's who have taken this course with us will be able to continue building on their skills and knowledge as our projects are always changing, and we continue building a foundation of ceramic knowledge.
The class is 1 hour once per week for 8 weeks. The registration fee includes clay, use of tools and supplies. Please note that we are unable to offer make-up classes, nor a pro-rate for future missed classes.
Due to the time extensive process of ceramics not all pieces will be finished by the last day of class. We will send an email notice within a couple of weeks of the class ending to let you know when pieces are ready for pick up.
*Please do not send your artist to class if they have any cold/flu symptoms (exhibiting, but not limited to cough, runny nose, sore throat, fever (temp of 100.4 +), shortness of breath, vomiting and/or diarrhea, or chills). Students who arrive or become ill at the studio will be sent home as soon as possible and will be isolated until pick-up.
*Please feel free to accompany your artist to check-in/check-out (and peek your head into see the space), but this is a drop-off class; only students and staff are permitted to stay in the studio during class time. We know that many of our younger artists may be a bit anxious at first, and in those circumstances we welcome you to come into the entry way to check in with them, there is a bench outside if you would like to be able to watch.
