Monday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 10:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
Creating with their own two hands using water and clay, students will learn the basics of the pottery wheel. Students will learn to center, open and raise walls, shaping and forming into functional vessels. Throughout the weeks there will be demos on how to make basic forms such as cylinders, bowls, altered pots, pitchers, mugs and more. Pottery students are bound to have a lot of fun together in this messy adventure of learning the old craftsmanship of wheel throwing, Miss Sia’s forté. All students will be taught decoration & glazing and will have the opportunity to take their work home when fired. This class is for beginning, intermediate or advanced ceramics students. Returning students will learn new skills and build off of other semesters. As they work within the structure of the studio, this class is also excellent for socialization, teamwork and cheering each other on. I teach my students to help build up a strong environment in their classroom by building each other up. The ceramic studio hence becomes a source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy.

Junior potters are bound to have a blast in this tactile, social arts class. Classes will be loosely structured combining projects, goals and plenty of creative flow.

Schedule:
Tuesday - Art Studio - 129: 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm
Description:
In this intermediate class students will learn how to crochet boarders on a blanket and how to crochet an amagurumi stuffed frog*. To ensure everyone can pick out their own colors of fabric and yarn, there will be no supply fee and students will be required to obtain their own supplies. I will leave a list of what they will need for the class below.
Supplies Needed
- 1 yard of Anti Pill Fleece
-Yarn in your color choice (suggested yarn weight: 4) - this is for your blanket; you will need 1 skein
- 1 skein of Baby Bee Yarn in Mint Charm ,for your frog (you can find this yarn brand at Hobby Lobby)
-Crochet hooks (5mm and 4mm)
-Crochet (or blunted) needle for sewing in ends and attaching arms, legs etc. to your stuffy
-Scissors
I will provide the poly-fill, safety eyes, and a small amount of yarn for accent colors on your frog.
*If you do not wish to create a frog amigurumi you can still follow the same pattern and adjust the color and make ears for whatever animal you would like. e.g. You could make a bear or a bunny. Your imagination's the limit! You would have to find a suitable replacement yarn as the baby bee yarn comes in very limited colors. The baby bee yarn is category 5 and is a velvety consistency.
NOTE: If the class as a whole finishes these projects, we would continue with the same concepts and make other projects. Be prepared to purchase more yarn/fabric. If a student finishes the projects before the rest of the class, they are more than welcome to bring in other crochet projects they are working on and I'd be more than happy to help!
I hope you join us for a fun class crocheting together some fun, useful items to cherish for years to come!
Requirements:
Students are required to know basic stitches. Students who are under the age of the class age minimum, but would like to take the class and have prior crochet experience, must get approval from the teacher.

Arts
- General Art
Schedule:
Wednesday - Art Studio - 129: 3:00 pm - 4:20 pm
Description:
2D Art will explore several disciplines: drawing, painting, silhouette, & collage. We will be using Micron Pens, colored pencils, gouache, construction paper, bristol paper, x-acto knives and various other tools and art supplies.
This class is suitable for all artistic skill levels.
The emphasis of this class is to expose students to 2D art mediums and to build their creative skills through the elements and principles of design. Projects may include: Abstract Drawing, Zentangle, Collage, Optial Art, Negative Space and Surrealism
In this class students will:
Generate, conceptualize, organize and develop artistic ideas and work.
Refine and complete artistic work.
Come to class with: pencil, sketchbook (provided) and homework complete.
In this class students are expected to:
Be respectful, give their best effort, be prepared for class and have fun!
Projects will be worked on in class and may require additional at home work (30 minutes/week). An ample amount of work time during class is provided for the students, if using time allotted students the need for homework will be negligible. When possible I will loan supplies to students to take home so they may complete their project on their own time.
Requirements:
The projects are chosen to suit all levels of artistic skill. No pre-requisite needed.
All supplies are provided by the teacher, some are shared and some are for the student to keep. Students will be given a sketchbook, for sketching ideas, practicing techniques taught in class, taking notes on homework and general doodling of their own volition.
Parents please make a habit of responding to Slack messages, so I know you have read them, either with a reply in thread or an emoji.
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 myself.
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.
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.
