Students will learn and practice new pottery techniques, and work independently to create a ceramic object with the support and assistance of the instructor. Class will cover slab, pinch, coil, and wheel building techniques, sculptural and finishing rules, methods for firing clay, and how to apply glaze. Beginning students will be given hands-on guidance, and those with some experience will be allowed a bit more independence. Please bring project ideas to class. Final pieces may not be fired in time for the last session; students will be asked to pick up finished pieces at a later date. No class on February 18th and 25th due to February school vacation.
