Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (NO class Thursdays & Fridays)

Adventures In Clay offers a hands on wheel throwing experience for artists ages 10-16. Artists will learn the stages of clay and the steps of throwing and trimming on the wheel through small group instruction. Underglazing, sgraffito and applique techniques will be taught when the pieces are off the wheel and ready. Once artists are happy with their creations they will put the final touch of clear glaze on, and their pieces will be ready to be fired in the kiln. Come prepared to get muddy as we will be throwing ourselves into our work! Wear closed-toe shoes and old clothes. Enrollment is limited to provide individual attention, so early registration is strongly encouraged. Materials included.
