CERAMICS: Wheel Throwing, Hand Building & Sculpting

This class is for students 13+ years old and adults seeking to learn how to grow and/ or continue all their skills in ceramics. STRUCTURE OF CLASS This class teaches the basis of ceramic hand building techniques like pinch pots, coiling, and slab method. The first 10 classes of a term are dedicated to hand-building pieces. Each ceramic piece takes 2 -3 weeks to dry. Once dry, it is fired in a kiln to a bisque bisque state. Once bisque fired, pieces are returned to students, who will paint and glaze them using different finishing techniques including dipping, painting, and sgraffito. The pieces will dry for a day and then undergo a final firing. COLLECTION OF PIECES All ceramics must be collected once glaze and final fired. Parents and students will be notified via email if a piece is uncollected for three weeks. After four weeks, unclaimed pieces will be discarded.
