This winter we will be thinking about Spring!  All clay projects will have a Spring theme.  Mushrooms and toad stools, garden stones, dragon eggs, flowers and rabbits...oh my! 

Each week Brad will present a demo with instruction and guidance as students undertake new projects.  Handbuilding using the coil method will be the focus with the use of pinch potting to further ideas.  Learn some simple steps and skills to make your sculptural work smoother.  Wheel throwers how wish to elevate their work with a few birds on the edge of a bowl, an animal bust in the center of a lidded pieces or something grader are all welcome! 

Students will also learn several glazing techniques using was, texture, dotting, spray, and the use of naked clay.  Using wire and textures will also be discussed.  Join us! 

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