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!

Screenprinted Ceramic Pumpkins!
Create three gloriously decorated ceramic pumpkin forms to enjoy this fall! Instructor Kim Bryant will teach you how to apply screenprinted underglaze transfers and how to create a watercolor effect with brush-on glaze. You will be provided with two small slip caste pumpkin forms, and one large one. The transfers will also be provided and will include the themes of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and autumn. Beginners welcome!
Pumpkin Ceramic Rattle - Handbuilding
No experience necessary! Using handbuilding techniques, you will make ceramic pumpkin rattles. We will build the rattles the first week, then come back the 2nd week and glaze or paint them in your own choice of colors.

We hope you come and join this creative ceramic community!
Intro to Pottery
Thursdays, Oct 3rd - Oct 24th 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)
