This fall, spend your time thinking about the art that can fill your lovely garden: Totem stacks, lanterns, birdhouses, birdbaths, planters and garden stakes. What will you create? Karen will guide you through working with clay to hand build just what your garden needs.

  • 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.
  • Clay not included.
  • Basic clay tools, which can be purchased at CAC.
