ART SCHOOL / CLASS LISTINGS

Beginning Handbuilding

Adults

Everyone has a story to tell—let’s turn yours into ceramic sculptures. Abstract, figurative, and narrative work can all be explored. Focus on mastering basic hand-building skills and the use of slips, underglaze, and glaze to achieve a colorful palette with which to express yourself. Come ready to share ideas as we develop our unique voices into clay sculpture. All levels are welcome.

Tuition includes guaranteed access to 3 Ceramics Open Studio sessions per registered class. Ceramics Open Studio is an opportunity to practice skills outside class. A sign up link will be available when class starts.

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.
