CERAMICS

In ceramic classes, youth and adult students learn to work with their hands and express their creativity and imagination through molding and manipulating clay. Youth and adult weekend workshops explore hand-building techniques, while adult weekday classes and weekend open studios delve further into wheel-throwing, pinch pot and coils techniques, simple ceramic vocabulary, and an understanding of firing techniques.

For more independent Weekday Pottery students, open studios allow more time to work in the studio outside of class hours. Having learned studio practices, equipment, and materials in Weekday Pottery Classes, students have the option to concentrate on larger projects and to practice more frequently in the studio. With an experienced instructor present, answers or advice are readily available!
