Wednesday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 10:00 am - 10:50 am
Description:
"
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. Tactile contact is one of the first experiences we have in this life; it is at our roots. So touching clay and experiencing ceramic art is a very grounding experience for students. In this class students will be learning about decoration, carving, smoothing, sculpting and construction in clay, including slip & score techniques and pinch pots. Over the course of our 16 weeks together, some projects we will be doing include: handprint and picture tiles, face tiles, little cups and bowls and, inevitably, sweet little sculptural pieces of their own (students 5-7) and boxes, stamped/carved mugs and vases made from slabs, their own sculptures and design tiles (ages 8-10).
As they work within the structured boundaries of the orderly ceramics studio, your student will have plenty of creative freedom. This is both for the confident independent junior artists and for thoughtful or hesitant artists. I teach my students to help build up a strong environment in their classroom by building each other up so the ceramic studio can become a source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy for them.
Some Notes:
-We fire the pottery here at the center and students will be able to take home their finished pieces. And their little cups and bowls and such will be fully functional and can be used in the kitchen! We use non toxic food safe glazes and everything that gets fired can be used in the everyday.
-Students will have some minimal cleanup chores, like washing the wooden tools and sponges in the provided water buckets and wiping down their areas after glazing days.
-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!
-Here at our pro ceramics studio we fire to cone 6, providing for elementary students an abundance of clay, a rainbow array of mid-range glazes and all the tools and supplies one would need.

- Ceramics
Schedule:
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.

-Students will have setup and cleanup chores, sometimes taking water buckets outside to roll buckets in and out of the back doors.
