In this course you will learn skills that provide a great foundation to create functional and sculptural work. Coil and slab construction, press molds, sprig attachments, surface texture, and painting are a few techniques that will be demonstrated throughout the course. Designed to give creative approaches in clay away from the potter’s wheel, participants will learn fundamental making and decorating techniques and glazing.

  • All clay used in Art League ceramics classes must be purchased at the Art League. Clay purchased at the Art League cannot be brought outside of the studio. If additional time is needed to complete projects, students in a ceramics class may enroll in open studio time. Work produced in Art League classes must be constructed at a reasonable size so as to not overload the kilns. The Art League ceramics studio is a communal educational space - we are not responsible for broken or lost work that has been left behind. The Art League thanks its students for following guidelines to keep the kiln schedule under control so that all students receive their work back in a timely fashion.
  • Students must purchase ceramics tool kits in advance. Students may only work with and fire clay purchased from ALLI. Your teacher will review clay types on the first day of class, and you will be able to purchase at that time. Clay is $40 per bag.
