Arts
- Ceramics
Schedule:
Tuesday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 11:00 am - 12:50 pm

This class is for beginning and returning pottery wheel students. Students will be guided in wheel throwing techniques with the goal of making functional pieces for use in their homes and spaces. They will be encouraged to bring their own ideas to the classroom and will be given exciting demos. While this is primarily a hands-on class, students will also be keeping a pottery notebook in which they will be encouraged to write notes, journal and sketch throughout the week. Students will also receive instruction in basic terminology of the ceramics studio pertaining to clay body, stages of clay becoming ceramics and the many curious and helpful tools potters use to create their own signature style. Teaching through lecture, note taking, demonstration, and 1:1 instruction will all be explored in our studio.
Requirements:
All supplies, consumable and shared are provided with the supply fee for this class. 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.

In this weekly gathering of parents and students we will be gleaning inspiration for our projects through stories read aloud each week. Students will be guided through the basics of clay sculpture, pinch pots, coil making and more. This tactile medium will be used to help cultivate fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, attention to detail and storytelling. Parents of 3 & 4 year old students will attend together, 5 year olds may be dropped off or parents may choose to stay for the class as well. Projects will range from a small guided project completed in one day, projects that may take two or more sessions to complete. The class will touch on sculptural and functional wares over the course of our 16 weeks together.
Requirements:
Students ages 4 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
