In the first class you will learn how to create intricate patterns on clay by using all kinds of found objects, and then taking your beautifully stamped clay and turning it into vessels: vase, cup, pencil holder, objet d’art, whatever you like! The clay will then go into a bisque firing.
In the second class you will glaze your creations, using the color to highlight the patterns you made in the first class. After the second firing, you’ll be able to pick up your gorgeous, one-of-a-kind pieces!
This class is suitable for beginners and up, and children from 11-15 can attend with an attending adult.
Class one: Thursday, May 25, 6:30PM to 8:30PM
Class two: Thursday, June 8, 6:30PM to 7:30PM
$57 for classes
$11 for supplies (clay, glazes)
$3 firing fee per piece
