Explore inventive hand-building techniques for making functional pottery in this fun, informative class. Students will be introduced to a variety of projects that utilize slabs, extruded elements, and pinching techniques. Learn to create your own simple templates and bisque molds. Follow along with demonstrations to discover the relaxed pace and creative potential of hand building. Students will have the opportunity to experiment with underglaze pencils and underglaze colors, in addition to standard high-fire glazes. All levels are welcome.
Tuition includes access to one Ceramics Open Studio session per week, space prohibiting. Ceramics Open Studio is an opportunity to practice skills outside class. Students should not sign up for a class with the assumption that they will have extra hours to complete work outside of class. Due to limited studio space, Open Studio access is not guaranteed, and students should complete all works during assigned class hours.
Given the complexities of firing, we cannot guarantee student work will be fired in the order in which it was received. Students will be emailed each time the kiln has been fired and unloaded. Because of limited space we can only hold onto finished pieces for three (3) weeks and will discard any unclaimed pieces after the posted date.
