Adult Classes

Tuesday's October 1st  - November 19th  6pm - 9pm. Instruction will introduce basic to advanced wheel-throwing techniques. Beginners will start with centering the clay and throwing cylinders and bowls. Returning students will continue to refine their personal style, learn advanced techniques and focus on individual projects. Glaze application and decoration will be explored as a group. We hope you come and join this creative ceramic community!

Thursdays, Sept 5th - Sept 26th  6:00-9:00pm. Instruction will include students’ skills in the areas of general properties of clay, hand building, throwing on the wheel and glazing. The objective is not make pieces to take home, rather allowing you to get your hands dirty and feel what it's like! Pottery is a very physical and hands on art form that many have yet to fall in love with. (prerequisite for instructional open studio)

The goal of Instructional Open Studio is for students to work freely within a flexible schedule while an instructor is present. Instructional Open Studio is open to students that have taken the Introduction to Pottery and with beginner to advanced pottery knowledge. During these hours students may come in and work, this is not a led class, but more of a working studio where questions can be addressed to instructors and peers. We hope to create an environment where students can experiment and get creative while having a community of support!

Sept 7th, 21st, and 28th, 1-3pm. Learn to use the silkscreen process to create your own limited edition prints, posters and t-shirts! Students will learn about reduction printing, stenciling, and the use of photo emulsion. This style of printmaking is fun and accessible for all skill levels. You're bound to leave the class with an exciting new skill set and plenty of art work!
