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.

Through read-aloud stories, guided projects, and creative clay play, students will explore the foundations of hand-building with clay including pinch pots, coils, sculpting, slip and score, and more. This tactile medium encourages fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and attention to detail while creating both sculptural and functional pieces, which are microwave and dishwasher-safe. Projects range from single-day creations to multi-week works of art. Each term features new projects, with favorite projects only occasionally revisited every few years.
Requirements:
This class is a good fit for students who work well in a multi-sensory environment as the studio is alive with sights, smells, and sounds, sometimes simultaneously; all while having their hands in lots of clay and water. All supplies, consumable and shared are provided with the supply fee for this class.
We will engage your student’s imagination through read aloud stories and coordinating projects. Alternating between guided projects and ‘free play” clay.
