5-Week Surface Design: Handbuilding & Funky Glazes

Explore ceramic handbuilding & funky glazes!

Mondays, January 5, 12, 19, 26, February 9, from 6-8:30 p.m., with the last class of the series from 6-9 p.m.

Ages 15+ welcome! In this 5-week series, students will learn the basics of handbuilding to create functional pieces with an emphasis on decorative techniques. Working with mid fire clay, we will explore various methods of building forms and decorative techniques with underglazes, slips, glaze, and various experimental materials.

Students will complete multiple projects throughout the course with an artistic and creative approach to decorative designs. Inspired by printmaking, painting and drawing, we will explore image transfers, mark making, layering, stencils, and more! Through the use of technique and materials, students will explore the fusion of 2D art and 3D form. Students will be able to utilize a wide array of glazes and colors through the course. The instructor will have a wide array of custom decorative materials for use and sale.

Projects will be ready to pick up 3-4 weeks after the last class.

All materials provided. Additional materials available via the instructor for a fee.

We recommend that each student bring an apron to wear and an older towel or a cloth rag.
