Projects incorporate single techniques and combinations and will lead students through creating varied forms and glazing techniques. No prerequisites.
Intro to Clay
This class is a beginning level class, and is designed for those folks that have never worked with clay. How do you know if you will like it? How do you decide between handbuilding and wheel throwing? What are handbuilding and wheel throwing, anyway? In this class, students will briefly explore a variety of techniques to see what they like best, and this experience will help them decide if they'd like to continue with another more focused class. No prerequisites.
Intermediate/Advanced Wheel Throwing
This class is an opportunity for experienced clay students to get critical feedback on their work. A willingness to accept suggestions and embrace new techniques, philosophies and approaches is recommended. Class time is spent on demonstrations, group discussions and individual feedback. Students are expected to continue their class work outside of the normal class time during available open studio hours throughout the session. The goal of the class is the individual evolution and improvement of each student. Completion of at least two wheel classes or instructor's permission required.
