Adult Ceramics Hand Building Class - -Friday - 1-330PM - 18+
Introduction To Handbuilding
The Open Arts Studio Introduction to Handbuilding ceramics class will teach and expand upon the three basic methods of Coil, Slab, and Pinch to achieve an understanding of functional and sculptural forms in ceramics. Students will use studio-provided tools such as a slab roller, wall-mounted clay extruder, texturizers, and paddles to explore these core techniques. Additionally, students will learn a variety of surface treatments and glazing concepts specific to handbuilt forms. Students will develop an understanding of color theory as it relates to three-dimensional form using ceramic glazes and oxides. The class registration fee includes one 25-pound bag of clay, the use of some studio tools, glazes, open studio opportunities, and firings.
