Ongoing classes provide an opportunity to devote a regularly scheduled time to learning and creating among a small group of like-minded souls in a supportive atmosphere. You will discover and pursue your own image vocabulary, learning ceramic techniques as needed to bring your vision into form. As you focus on your own clay projects, instruction is available in basic hand-building methods, and individualized instruction and feedback provided. Advice on glazing and finishing with alternative materials. Special group projects may be undertaken as needed. Process-oriented exercises, clay tools, a generous selection of glazes, and a range of art materials are always available.
Saturdays, 10 am–12:30 pm or Mondays, 1 to 3:30 pm.
$135 for 4 classes includes clay, glazes and firing. Use them anytime.
($40/one class includes materials and firing; $13.50/hr studio time)

Concentrated exploration of vocabulary and style using simple exercises in collage, doodling and clay. For all levels—set aside what you know or what you don’t know about technique.
