Daytime Classes

Handbuilding with Susan Thomas

handbuildingPerfect class for those who have never worked with clay before and only want to do handbuilding. While equipment is used to make a lot of the pottery in the world, using your hands or a simple paddle, carving tools, rolling pin and /or textures, can produce awesome results! You will be shown different techniques and from there you can make tile, sculpture or functional pieces.  All you need is a ball of clay in your hands.

03/06/12 – 04/10/12

Curious About Clay? with Joan Cortright

Joan with studentJoan's classThis class is for beginners who can't decide whether to take a handbuilding or a wheel class. We will create two projects using handbuilding techniques and learn the basics of throwing on the wheel.  The wheel pots will be high fired in the gas kiln and the other projects will be low fired in the electric kiln.  This will give you a good overview of the basic ceramic techniques and a better idea of which you would like to pursue.
