Clay Creations

Grades 3+: Functional and decorative pottery designed and hand built by you!

Started Oct 13
275 US dollars
River Ceramic Studio

Service Description

In this introductory clay course, students will learn basic hand building techniques through exploration and experimentation. Weekly projects will introduce new skills/techniques and build upon previous ones. Students can expect to learn how to work with slabs, coils, and pinch pots. At the end of the six weeks, students will have created both decorative and functional works that incorporate a variety of skills and techniques - (examples may include a textured tile, coil pot or bowl, pinch pot mug, slab vessel, etc.). This class is designed for ages 8+ and is a drop-off class. We ask that students arrive on time so that class can begin promptly at 10:00am. We also ask that parents arrive a few minutes early to be prepared for a 11:30am pickup. Parents are always welcome to enter the studio at any point during the class to see what students are creating! There are no make-ups for a missed class, however a detailed email and a reference video can be sent for review to keep the student up to speed with the class. ***Please note that this class requires a minimum of 2 participants to run. If less than 2 children are registered, refunds will be issued and the class will be rescheduled.*** Students can expect to return to glaze any remaining unfired pieces 3 weeks after the class has finished. Students also have the option of choosing one color for each piece and having their works glazed by a River Ceramics staff member. Pieces glazed by River Ceramics will require 4-5 weeks before ready for pickup. All course materials, firing, and glazing appointments are included in the cost of the course. Students are granted access to the studio during all posted open studio hours to come in and work independently on any current projects. Students may not begin new or separate projects outside of class time. Please note that students should be able to work confidently and independently while following all basic studio rules as a Clay Creations instructor will not be available outside of class. Coming in to work on pieces outside of class time is up to a student's discretion and is not required. *Please email hello@riverceramicsstudio.com to alert the studio so work can be pulled and ready for the student upon arrival.* Class dates are 10/13, 10/20, NO CLASS 10/27, 11/3, 11/10, 11/17, and 11/24.
