   In ceramics class clay is the medium used for making pottery, build-ups and/or carving. The clay can be molded into just about any form and is later fired into a harder, permanent state that can be colored in a variety of ways including: glazing, painting and staining. Students learn how to use the pottery wheel for shaping forms, and also the basic technique for building various sized and shaped structures through pinching, shaping and extruding clay. They will also learn more about the basics of clay; how to find their own clay which they can refine for personal use at home. Students may choose to do sculpture instead of and/or in addition to clay work. Students may sign up for or both three-hour sessions. The fee is $10 per session for members. Non-members fee is $15 per sessions. A materials fee of $3 per session (cash, please) will be collected in class.”

Students may bring a snack/food with them and there will be break times during class and students can stay later than class ending time, to allow for break times. Beginner and advanced students are welcome.

Clay Projects for Kids

Members: $8 plus $2 cash clay fee per session
Non-Members: $10 plus $2 cash clay fee per session

    These workshop will introduce children ages 7 – 12 to the fun and creative potential of working in clay. They will learn how to handle and prepare the clay and will have time to try several projects using simple techniques (not including the pottery wheel). They will have to leave their creations at the end of the day so that the instructor can glaze and fire them, but will be able to take their creations home after that is done.
