We will be learning how to safely solder, understand the care and cleaning of equipment, learn what equipment is needed, and how it is used. We will explore different techniques, types of solder, how to remove solder devices, and practice removing components from a PC Board. Students will build small practice projects while advancing to more difficult soldering projects.
Requirements:
SAFTEY FIRST, Students must stay focused during the soldering class for one hour. Any student who is disruptive or unsafe will not be able to attend class. Safety glasses and soldering kits are to be supplied by the instructor with the supply fee.
This course is a basic electricity class. We will be learning the requirements of components and building simple projects with PC Breadboarding projects. We will begin with simple DC projects and advance to more difficult projects dealing with series, parallel circuits, resistors, transistors, diodes, LEDs, capacitors (ceramic and electrolytic), and Volt-Ohm-Amp meter uses.
Requirements:
Students must stay focused on projects and follow directions carefully.
Elementary Apologetics is a class based off Ken Ham’s Answers in Genesis curriculum. Your children will be able to clearly see the evidence of God’s Creation that will equip them to defend the validity of the Bible. Classes will include quizzes, games, videos, and activities to enhance their appreciation of God’s creation and help them learn how to defend their faith. My heart’s desire is to help children grow in their appreciation, interest, and knowledge of the Word of God!

Junior ceramic students are bound to have a lot of fun together in this class as they learn about decoration, carving, smoothing, sculpting and construction in clay. Over the course of our 16 weeks together, some projects we will be doing include: handprint and picture tiles, face tiles, little cups & bowls, boxes, design tiles. Students will have the opportunity to glaze and take home their work. As they work within the structure of the studio, your student will have cleanup duties as well as plenty of creative freedom. This is both for the confident independent junior artists and for thoughtful or hesitant artists. I teach my students to help build up a strong, positive environment by building each other up so the ceramic studio can become a source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy. Tactile contact is one of the first experiences we have in this life; it is at our roots, so touching clay and experiencing ceramic art is a very grounding experience for students.
In this class students will be learning about decoration, carving, smoothing, sculpting and construction in clay. Over the course of our 16 weeks together, we will be doing so many fun projects from tiles and cups to pendants and boxes! Inevitably, there will also be sweet little independent creations like pizzas, dice and lizards. Your students will have plenty of creative freedom and even have the opportunity to team up for some joint sculptural projects. Tactile contact is one of the first experiences we have in this life so touching clay and experiencing ceramic art is a very grounding experience. The ceramic studio becomes a weekly source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy. Students will have some minimal cleanup chores, like washing the wooden tools and sponges in the provided water buckets or wiping down their areas after glazing days. Junior ceramic students are bound to have a lot of fun together in this class as they learn the old craftsmanship of working with clay.
Requirements:
Supply & teacher payments are due January 9th. Families must respond to invoice requests by this deadline to keep their standing in the class.

Junior ceramic students are bound to have a lot of fun together in this class as they learn the old craftsmanship of working with clay. Tactile contact is one of the first experiences we have in this life; it is at our roots. So touching clay and experiencing ceramic art is a very grounding experience for students. In this class students will be learning about decoration, carving, smoothing, sculpting and construction in clay, including slip & score techniques and pinch pots. Over the course of our 16 weeks together, some projects we will be doing include: handprint and picture tiles, face tiles, little cups and bowls and, inevitably, sweet little sculptural pieces of their own (students 5-7) and boxes, stamped/carved mugs and vases made from slabs, their own sculptures and design tiles (ages 8-10).
As they work within the structured boundaries of the orderly ceramics studio, your student will have plenty of creative freedom. This is both for the confident independent junior artists and for thoughtful or hesitant artists. I teach my students to help build up a strong environment in their classroom by building each other up so the ceramic studio can become a source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy for them.
Some Notes:
-We fire the pottery here at the center and students will be able to take home their finished pieces. And their little cups and bowls and such will be fully functional and can be used in the kitchen! We use non toxic food safe glazes and everything that gets fired can be used in the everyday.
-Students will have some minimal cleanup chores, like washing the wooden tools and sponges in the provided water buckets and wiping down their areas after glazing days.
-The finished pottery they will be creating will have undergone several stages of wet, “leather -hard”, trimming and decorating, first fire, decoration, second fire. So it’s a really big deal when they receive their first finished pots from the kiln room. Look for that day when they get to bring them home!
-Here at our pro ceramics studio we fire to cone 6, providing for elementary students an abundance of clay, a rainbow array of mid-range glazes and all the tools and supplies one would need.
