Class Description:
These are offered as separate classes held at the same time in neighboring classrooms and are intended to offer both caregivers and their children an opportunity to take a class.
In Adult Intro to Wheel Case Cruger will cover the foundational techniques of wedging clay, throwing basic cup or bowl forms, trimming, adding handles, and glazing. It’s a great introduction (or a refresher!) to throwing on the wheel and working in a community studio.
In Youth Handbuilding Chelsea Clark will cover a variety of handbuilding techniques, including working with slabs, coils, and pinch pots to make both functional and sculptural work. Students will have opportunities to work with illustrative painting techniques with underglazes as well as studio glazes.
There will be ongoing demonstrations and plenty of work time in both classes.
