If you can’t make it good, make it big
Winter Class | Registration opens Wednesday, November 4, 2026 6:00 AM EDT
Let’s spend a few weeks playing with scale! Take a pot you love and supersize it, or challenge yourself to create something tiny. We’ll explore how changing the scale of a form can transform its look, feel, and function. Come ready to experiment, push your boundaries, and have fun discovering just how big—or small—your ideas can go!
- Clay is not included in lab fee. Clay is to be purchased through the office. Purchase can be made via email, by phone and/or in person during office hours. Please note specific clay body when placing order. Porcelain clay bodies (257 and 437) are priced at $60 per unit. Non-porcelain clay bodies are priced at $35 per unit.

Please note: 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 $25 fee/semester. Only available to students who have previously taken a soda specific class or workshop at CAC.
- Students should bring clay and basic clay tools, which can be purchased from CAC as described in the special notes above.
(It's OK to wait until the first class and see what you need.)
