About this course

This 6-week course will be an introduction to the functional and sculptural process of ceramics using various hand building techniques. Within this once-a-week course, we will explore processes including pinch, coil, and slab building as well as gain an understanding of the tools and methods involved in hand building. Projects will include things such as functional dinnerware all the way to purely sculptural pieces. Students will learn about glazing and how color and surface design can bring life to their unique works of art. All levels welcome. Over the course of 6 weeks, we will focus on clay preparation, centering clay on the wheel, and understanding the mechanics and design of creating successful forms. Ultimately, we will work towards creating a matching set of functional vessels. Replicating vessels of the same size and shape will be a doorway to creating intentional objects, giving students the tools to move forward on their clay journey with confidence. This class will also focus on glazing pots successfully, as well as more advanced techniques for decoration, such as layering glazes. 6 week classes include 5 hours of studio hours to use during your 6 week session. Clay is not included in your class price and will be purchased Mud Studio on the first day of class. A welcome email will be sent a few days prior to class starting. We provide all tools & there is nothing needed to prepare ahead of time. Can't make a class? We offer a make up option for 1 class, by using 3 additional studio hours! ***Must be 18 and older***
