Ceramics I: Beginning

Welcome to Ceramics!

In this beginning to intermediate class, students of any skill level are invited to learn the foundations of working with clay. Students can expect to participate in a series of guided projects that will support the learning of methods in wheel throwing (centering, pulling, and vessel formation) and hand-building (pinch, coil, slab). After initial demonstrations, students may also work freely on their own projects. Additional instruction will be woven into lessons to build knowledge in the areas of surface treatments, function, design, and expression.  

MATERIALS LIST:

 The materials fee is $45 and will be added on at payment. Students do not need to purchase any other materials and all tools are provided. Any additional bags of clay requested throughout the session will also cost $45. This fee covers not just clay but glazes, firings, waxes, and more. If you have questions about the ceramics facility and/ or classes or if you would like to donate a bag of clay for community outreach classes, you can send an email to: [email protected]
