Tuesdays, January 12 – March 2, 2021

Start your day off creating and working with clay!
In this class, we will be looking at different ways to hand-build functional and sculptural works of art. Through pinching, rolling, extruding and coiling, you will be able to explore the different qualities of clay. By adding textures to the clay surfaces, it will be icing on the cake! No experience is needed.
Please Note: This class consists of 7 full working sessions with a pick up day on the 8th week (March 2, 9:00a.m. – 10:00a.m.).
Students should bring:
- Apron
- Hand towel
