Together we will explore one of the most versatile ceramic techniques. With the use of slabs and molds, we will update the ancient coil method to build beautiful pottery of various shapes and sizes.

We'll experiment using color and burnishing techniques to give your pot the subtle smoothness of a river stone, then fume or smoke each piece using several of the alternative firing kilns available at the Community Arts Center. Demonstrations will be designed around the needs of the students. All skill levels welcomed! And of course, traditional glazing is still an option!

  • Clay is not included in lab fee.
  • Please Note:  This class is planned as an in person class and we expect that it will run the full semester in person.  However, there is an ongoing need to adhere to guidance and safety practices in order to safely manage the COVID-19 situation.  The guidelines from state government and public health authorities change as time progresses and the CAC may need to make adjustments accordingly.  It is possible that this class will transition to an online format at some point during the semester.  In this case, tuition refunds will not be issued unless the CAC is unable to provide the same number of class sessions as initially planned either in person or in a remote format. 
  • Students who wish to fire work in the soda kiln and are currently registered in a class that is not soda kiln specific can do so for an additional $20 fee/semester. Only available to students who have previously taken a soda kiln specific class or workshop at the CAC. Please call or stop by the office to sign up.
  • Basic clay tools, available for purchase at the CAC.
