Come be creative and have fun playing in the clay. Using pinch pot, coil, and slab techniques to create anything you can imagine. You will create 4 different projects with an additional project on the pottery wheel. Projects use pinch and roll techniques along with slipping and scoring. We will also be working on slab and coil techniques to create clay boxes and bowls. Once they are complete, they will be painted with a clay-based paint. They take two weeks to dry before they can be fired. They are dipped in a clear glaze and fired again. The projects will be dropped off at the main office and they will call or email you when they are ready to be picked up. Students will also get the chance to experiment with using the pottery wheel on the last day of class.
