Pottery

The pottery studio will be open to Instructional Open Studio students that are enrolled in or have completed Introduction to Wheel 2 or Introduction to Handbuilding class. Cost is $85 monthly and the studio can be used during the following times:

Instruction will include students’ skills in the areas of general properties of clay, throwing on the wheel, and glazing. This is a class that will allow you to get your hands dirty, make mistakes, and get the feel of the wheel. No previous experience in clay is needed for this class. Upon completing this class, students are eligible for instructional open studio time.

In this course, students explore the basic physical properties of clay by practicing a variety of hand-forming techniques used to create functional objects. Hand-forming techniques will include, pinch pots, slab building, mold slumping, and texture. The objective is not to make pieces to take home, rather learning what is possible and allowing you to get your hands dirty and feel what it's like! No previous experience in clay is needed for this class. (an introduction class is a prerequisite for instructional open studio)

For April’s Friday Night Pottery demo, Kim Bryant will be demonstrating the art of spoon making. She will go through pinch spoons, coiled spoons and draped mold techniques. You will be able to complete one to two sppons. Bring your texture tools if you want, but no tools required. One pound of Bmix clay will be provided.
