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 pottery, slab and coil building, mold slumping, and texturizing surfaces. The objective of this class is not to make pieces to take home, but rather to learn what is possible and give students a chance to get their hands dirty and feel what it's like to work with clay. No previous experience with clay is needed for this class. This class is a prerequisite to attend open studio.

Art Under Glass Pastel Workshop with Jude Tolar, PSA, IAPS/MC*
Learn to see and render glass and other reflective subject matter. Clear glass may seem an elusive subject. Its transparent or translucent nature can, however, be translated to paper or canvas when you know how to look and see. In this workshop, you will learn to see the unique–and sometimes subtle–visual information of glass subjects. This information will help you create the forms in your artwork.
