Each week students will work on building spectacular portfolios both in clay and on paper. Integrating color, design and patterns on paper, we will then use these inspirations for working these patterns and lines into separate clay projects. At the end of of the semester students will have completed a colorful art portfolio filled with nature patterns, watercolor, pen and ink and their own labor-of-love pottery creations. This class is ideal for artistic kids who love to draw but also are hands on and want to experience working with clay.
