Apprenticeship with Miss Tracy is a studio-based, hands-on learning experience that can offer an invaluable window into the career of a studio ceramic artist. This age-old model of transference of craft skills, ideas, and practice will provide a unique learning opportunity for your student. In this class we will discuss in-class helper guidelines tips and techniques, studio equipment training, and chore expectations. Apprentices will be trained in all the nuances and needs of the duties that are unique to our studio as well as discussion/exposure to alternative types of studio environments.
Requirements:
Apprentices need to help in some of the scheduled classes being held in the ceramic’s studio. Any class Apprentices choose for their own study will be billed at a 25% reduced fee for every hour of class they help in. Apprentices will be invited to assist in studio activities such as kiln loading and unloading as well as private use of the studio when no classes are present. Additionally I will request occasional studio work days for tidying the studio between sessions and general maintenance of shared class tools and supplies.

Ceramics Mentors is a hands-on leadership and studio training program for students who wish to deepen their ceramic knowledge while learning to support a thriving studio community. Mentors receive training in classroom support, studio operations, equipment use, safety procedures, kiln and reclaim systems, and other behind-the-scenes responsibilities unique to the ceramic arts. Through discussion, demonstrations, service opportunities, and hands-on experience, students will develop technical skills, leadership abilities, and a deeper understanding of the craft while helping support younger artists and contribute to the life of the studio.
Requirements:
Mentors are expected to volunteer a minimum of one hour per week in the ceramics studio assisting with classes, studio tasks, or special projects.
In exchange for their service, mentors receive up to two hours of Open Studio access each week, including use of studio tools, reclaim clay, glazes, and firing of work created during approved studio time - OR - no supply fee if taking a ceramics class. Additional volunteer opportunities may include kiln work, clay reclaim, studio organization, event support, and other large studio projects. Special studio sessions and enrichment opportunities may also be offered throughout the year at the instructor's discretion.
This is a delight directed course for students who can demonstrate independent confidence with clay. Prerequisite: a demonstrated ability to be self directed after completing beginning ceramics classes with Miss Sia or Mrs. Gregory.
Most importantly students must have a desire to create with clay and are willing to outline their own project objectives for the term. Examples: I want to make a matching set of cups and saucers, I want to make jewelry pieces, I want to sculpt garden art.
We can then discuss a quantity and time line for each project and then the student will be expected to work on their own during class. I am here to help any way they need, but I will not be lecturing.
*Special Note: The instructor has scheduled absences this term so this is a 14 week course and the price has been adjusted to reflect the shortened term.
Requirements:
Students must be able to identify the stages of clay: plastic, bone dry, greenware, bisque and glazed.
Students must be able to describe “slip and score”
Students can correctly place work in progress on the proper staging areas.
If desiring to throw on the wheel, they may show that they have taken wheel throwing with Miss Sia or myself.
Students will submit sketch’s or reference photos, before the first day of class, with projects they desire to complete. • Supply & teacher payments are due January 9th. Families must respond to Groupzu invoices by this deadline to keep their standing in the class.
