With Alex Meltzer - Eight sessions in person. (Monday’s September 09 - November 04, 2024 12:30-3:00)
THIS CLASS IS PART OF AN 8 WEEK SERIES
Together we will cover the basics of hand building, an ancient technique used to create pots and sculpture without the use of a potter's wheel. You can use these skills to create a plethora of objects, both utilitarian and sculptural. You will leave this class with an understanding of pinched, coil, and slab construction; how to use equipment such as a slab roller and extruder; and surface treatments such as creating texture in clay, with a focus on vessels. This class is perfect for those looking to see quick results and is open for beginners and advanced students.
All six, eight, and ten-week clay classes included unlimited Open Studio time for the duration of the class, 12 lbs of fresh clay, and shared shelf space. No prior experience with clay necessary; this course is open to everyone.
