*students enrolled in a teaching ceramics class do not pay the supply fee for this class* This is a 2 hour delight directed course for students who want more time/freedom exploring the medium of clay. Students are required to outline their own project objectives for the term. Students may check out books and magazines from our ever-growing library of Ceramic Literature, they will have free access to all the tools in the studio, including wheels, slab roller, hand building tools, etc. Students are expected to be fully responsible for set up and clean-up of their personal project as well. Project ideas: make a matching set of cups and saucers, practice throwing consistent size tumblers, sculpt garden art, create a wall hanging out of tiles. We will discuss a timeline for each project, the student will then be expected to work on their own during class. I will oversee their projects and check in with them weekly. I am on hand the entire class for questions, and inspiration.
Requirements:
*For students enrolled in a hand building or wheel throwing class, there will be no supply fee for this class* This class is a good fit for students who want the freedom to explore the ceramics medium as their curiosity leads them. Students need to practice self discipline and time management and be able to work independently.
Papier Mache 1 is an art class for middle elementary students who want to learn a variety of techniques to create sculptures out of paper and glue. The first week we will start a sculpture and add more layers until it is ready for the finishing process of sanding, painting, and embellishing the finer detail work. Each sculpture will be stored in class for the drying process in between layers. Sculptures will go home as soon as they are complete and dry for transport.
Requirements:
Weekly attendance is very important as many of our projects will take 2-4 classes to complete. If your child is sick then I will send the materials that they need to complete that layer at home. However, if this class conflicts with vacation/family plans, perhaps another class would be a better choice.
