Six Week Session Classes
Our adult pottery course covers all the basic techniques on the wheel and hand building such as coiling, slab methods, thrown pots and sculpting in clay. Various decorative techniques, including sgraffito, slip-painting, under glazing and glazing are taught. The course concentrates on three-dimensional art – sculpture and pot-making, with an emphasis on technical skills development and artistic exploration. Classes are designed to be relaxing and fun, without the pressure of academic qualifications, but with all the support and educational guidance needed to develop good work and gain skills and experience with clay. Students are encouraged to experiment and to develop their own styles and techniques. For those with experience in ceramics, we can expand and develop your skills, sharing hints and tips for throwing or glazing and experimenting with new materials – paper clay, porcelain, engobes and on-glaze enamels. Whatever your prior level of experience is Open Arts aims to tailor the course to your needs.
All classes include one 25lb bag of clay, other supplies, use of studio tools, glazes and firings. Studio equipment includes Slab roller, 8 Wheels, wedging table, access to many slump molds and hump molds, Extruder and more.
Classes need 4 people registered in order to run.
