Foundation to Functional Pottery

This 8-week functional pottery class is open for teens (ages 13+) and adults. All skill levels from beginning to advanced are welcome. In this class, the basics will be covered briefly starting with slabs and hand-building to get a foundation before transitioning to wheel work. The goal is to allow students to focus on creating functional pottery and advancing their skills. Examples include but are not limited to cups, mugs, bowls, plates, and vases. Everything created and then glazed will be dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. Bring your ideas and questions to class as we adapt to your needs and imagination. Each student will receive a 25-pound bag of clay included in the class fee. Additional clay is available for purchase at the Art Center. All works from this class will be available for pick-up three weeks after the final session of class.

Glow & Snow: Winter Lantern Workshop

Come and light up the winter season by making a candle holder or lantern! This class will focus on hand-building techniques using clay and can get as detailed or as abstract as you want. The first night will consist of making your shape and foundation and allowing your piece time to dry. During the second session, you can choose to carve or drill spots into the piece to allow light to pop through your creation. Come ready to get messy and ready to create something uniquely your own as this class is sure to light up your season! Students will have an opportunity to glaze their own piece after firing in the final class. No experience necessary!
