In this hands on two day workshop we will make functional pots designed to be fired in the Community Art Center Train Kiln. There will be demonstrations on making cups, bowls, pitchers, jars and teapots.

We will consider the flame path passing though the kiln and the dynamic ash effects of the wood firing process when making our pots. We will use wood fire specific clay and will dip or brush our pots in a variety of slips that will enhance the atmospheric effects on our fired work.

Demonstrations will be primarily based on the wheel, but principals can be used for both wheel and handbuild works.

  • 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.
  • Basic clay tools, can be purchased at the CAC.
