Learn to sculpt with clay in this 8-week series! Sundays, January 5, 12, 19, 26, February 2, 9, 16 & March 2, from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. The art of pottery is more than just a skill; it’s an opportunity to express our feelings and thoughts through art. Our deep connection with soil and clay fills our lives with beauty and wonder. Each piece we create tells a story about ourselves and our time. Learning how to create pottery reminds us that art is not just about making things beautiful; it’s a way to communicate with the world. This 8-week course teaches us that every piece we make is an opportunity to discover and create within ourselves. Sculptures made of clay have been created since prehistoric times and are still a form of artistic expression today. Artists and artisans around the world practice this art and create human and animal sculptures, geometric objects and shapes, and even create large works of art that tell a story. Sculpture, with a history that goes back centuries, has had a constant presence in the art and culture of different societies. In this 8-class series, students learn to make simple forms and finally proceed to make handmade structures in the shape of plants, animals, and humans. It’s a creative experience that starts from nothing and turns into something meaningful! This course covers the following topics: history of figurative pottery; materials and tools; practical exercises; designing and creating initial forms; creating abstract and organic shapes; understanding the structure of animal bodies and designing facial and body expressions; understanding the structure of human faces and bodies and designing facial and body expressions; and techniques for drying, painting, glazing, and firing clay. All materials included. Beginners welcome.

Clay Open Studio is an opportunity for students to practice the clay skills they have already learned in our clay classes. Students have the chance to work in our studio using either hand building techniques or working on a pottery wheel. This is not an instructional class. There will be no instructor. By signing up for Clay Open Studio, you will receive 1/2 a bag of clay, 1 bisque fire, 1 glaze fire, and use of our glazes. We work with midfire clay. No outside clay is allowed (because disastrous things can happen in the kilns). Since there is no instruction in Open Studio, some clay experience is a requirement. You must have taken one of our clay courses (wheel throwing, hand building, surface design, etc.) to participate, or have prior clay experience from elsewhere. If you are throwing work on the wheel, we allow you to come in on the Monday following the first Clay Open Studio date to trim your work. REQUIREMENT: A San Diego Craft Collective Ceramics Series or previous clay experience. • Military and sibling discounts • If this class is full, join the Interest List. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.
