About this course

Classes are 2 hours and 30 minutes long from 3:45p - 6:15p, meeting both Monday and Tuesday (or Wednesday during school weeks with holidays on a Monday) for four weeks for a total of 20 hours of instruction. After-school classes are tailored to the experience level of the group, which may vary from beginner to intermediate. More advanced students are encouraged to assist and guide others in a collaborative environment. Week one will include a review of basics (centering clay, pulling cylinders with control, testing and controlling wall thicknesses) and may then move into more advanced techniques and design challenges: making matching pitchers, plates or cups, designing a lidded pot, considering tall vase forms and surface pattern. Each student is encouraged to share drawings or designs from their own research, and all are invited to explore Inspiration pieces on display, as well as books and magazines in the ViaClay library. All materials and supplies are included; ViaClay never charges for firing time.
