Ceramics | Available
A true beginners class in ceramics. From hand building to throwing on the wheel you will be taken through several different techniques and styles of working with clay. You will learn the basics from the beginning with prepping your clay, to creating your piece, and then learning how to finish it off with our studio glazes.
In this course we will work on gaining skills and refining them. Whether you have never touched clay before or you’re looking to expand your skills this is the class for you. We will also go over different surface decoration styles as well. This class is a great way to discover your style and your skills.
Students are encouraged to ask questions and come to class with ideas of what they would like to create, such as mugs, small planters, bowls, and other inspirations.
- 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 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 a basic beginner ceramics tool kit. For a limited time kits are available in the front office for purchase. Instructor will go over tools that need to be purchased during the first class meeting. 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.
