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

Let’s go higher! This hand building class will explore the use of scrap clay to make “wet molds” to then build upon and support the base curve(s) and legs of larger sculptures…. thus adding elevation to sculptural forms. All skill levels are welcome to join in this unique approach to sculptural work using traditional hand building techniques of pinching, coiling and slab.
