Explore ways of designing and decorating your wheel thrown vessels for different clays and firings. Learn how to use mishima, underglazes, taping and wax resist to create your finished designs. Discover how they can be successful in either oxidation or reduction kilns and in low or high fire clays. There will be throwing, faceting, and altering demonstrations as well as hands-on lessons in pulling handles.

 

  • Clay is not included in lab fee.

    The CAC will be closed April 3-8 for spring break.


  • 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.
  • Students should bring basic clay tools (which can be purchased at CAC).
Adams, Jean

Jean Reiter Adams is a native of Bergen County, New Jersey. She earned her Bachelors of Arts degree in Art Education from Wilkes College in 1978. Since 1985, Jean has been teaching in the Art Department at Wilkes University, teaching both ceramic and survey classes. While she considers working at the potter’s wheel to be her first love, Jean has been teaching hand building techniques along with wheel throwing for the past thirty-seven years. 

“I enjoy making quiet and simple pots that you can live with and react to on a daily basis. I want my pots to serve a purpose, but also stand on their own as strong visual objects.  I am intrigued with how clay works; it is fluid by nature, then fixed, and fragile in its final form. I grew up in a house that valued working with your hands and the value of good craftsmanship. I have worked in clay since 1976 because I love the medium and that love has helped me stay excited for all these years. I strive for the highest quality that my abilities allow me to achieve – which is what I also look for in my students.”
