Event Overview

Some people look at a brown, mushy lump of clay as an enemy to their fresh manicure. And some people look at a brown mushy lump of clay as an infinite possibility for creating wonderful, handmade ceramics.

What could you make with a slab of clay? You'll find out in this Dabble class, which will introduce students to the building and decorating techniques of the pottery world. Learn popular hand-building terminology and techniques, including prepping your surface, selecting your clay and molding it into a number of pieces ... through to the finishing, painting and glazing process.

After instruction on the basics of ceramics, students will have the opportunity to put paper to practice-- creating a clay piece of your choice. Think mugs, bowls, trays, boxes, vases or wall-decorations, and then get a lesson on finishing options for your beautiful new work of art.

Students will leave with a completed project, with options to color the piece themselves with underglazes painted right onto the wet clay (a clear glaze will be applied later), or choose from a selection of glazes to be applied after the first firing.
