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.

Wednesday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 11:00 am - 12:50 am
Description:
"Creating with their own two hands using water and clay, students will learn the basics of wheel work: learning to center, open and raise walls, shaping and forming into functional vessels. A week later, when their pot has dried some, they will be taught how to trim and decorate. After the first firing of their pots they will learn the art of glazing.
Students will also be learning terminology of the ceramics studio from Kiln to Kaolin, tapping into some of the chemistry names for clay and glaze ingredients and learning about the firing process and how their pottery goes in and out of the fire, and to what temperatures.
Throughout the weeks there will be demos and guided instruction of how to make various forms such as cylinders, bowls, altered pots, pitchers, mugs and more. They will be primarily throwing on the electric wheel but will also have the opportunity to practice making coil-pots on the banding wheel.
As they work within the structured boundaries of the orderly ceramics 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 becomes a source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy for them. Pottery students are bound to have a lot of fun together in this messy adventure of learning the old craftsmanship of wheel throwing.
This class is for beginning, intermediate or advanced ceramics students. Returning students will learn new skills and build off of other semesters.
Some notes:
-We fire all student work here at the center and students will be able to take home their finished pieces.
-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!
-Students will have setup and cleanup chores, sometimes taking water buckets outside to roll buckets in and out of the back doors.

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.This taps into some art, design and science studies.

If your student is curious, passionate about it already or even rather intimidated, sign them up! You never know until you try.
