classes

I LOVE turning students on to the wonders of working in clay and have been teaching since 2003.

Classes focus primarily on hand-building (coil, slab and pinching), alternative firing techniques, fostering creativity and finding joy. Classes are 8 week sessions and meet weekly at Fountain Square Clay Center on Tuesday evenings and Wednesday afternoons. Below are courses l'm currently offering. Please contact me or the studio to arrange private or semi-private lessons and/or special topic related workshops.

Description
Over these 8 weeks we will focus on various slab built vessels - some using patterns, texture and darting inspired by ceramic artists Liz Slot Summerfie!d, Jeremy Randall and YOU! We will also set aside some real estate on these pieces for incorporating surface design techniques such as slip trailing, underglaze transfer, colored slip and more.
