Teen Pottery
In this class students will learn both hand building and wheel throwing techniques.
Students will make functional pottery on the pottery wheel, or by using coils, slabs and
pinching. Imaginative sculptural projects are also encouraged, and we will utilize a
variety of tools to achieve texture and pattern, along with slips and glazes to decorate the
work. Fee payable with tuition $20.00
Making Pottery – Pas De Deux: Session B
Veteran instructors Anita Griffith and Robert Parrott team-up to combine the best of their approaches to teaching pottery. Alternating weeks of instruction, Anita and Bob will offer a comprehensive survey of hand building and wheel throwing, with an emphasis on form, function, and development of personal style and expression. Learn about ceramic shapes and uses, from cups, bowls and plates to vases, bottles and teapots. Beginners are welcome and will learn all the basics of forming and glazing. Intermediate and advanced students will be challenged to work toward more refined products and to design independent projects with guidance and demonstrations.

From Form To Function
Learn wheel throwing, designing and glazing techniques with an eye to function. This

instruction for new students. More experienced students can develop their skills to make
larger and more complex forms through teacher demonstrations and individualized
instruction. Please note: no class 10/13
Explorations In Clay
In addition to developing the fundamentals of wheel-throwing and hand building, this course will explore various alternative firing techniques including pit-firing, raku, smoke firings and more. We will also experiment with unconventional surface treatments. The course is open to students of all levels. The only requirement is the desire to grow your skills and challenge your ceramic creativity.
Expression In Clay
Find your seat within this group of beginner to advanced potters. Set individual goals while exploring a dynamic range of skills including wheel throwing and hand-building, as well as skills for finishing your work including carving, slips, and diverse glaze techniques. Students will engage in both round table group critiques, as well as plenty of one-on-one attention.

All About Pottery
In this class we will focus on mastering the skills to make ceramic dishes for food. We will cover clay preparation, forming pots on the wheel, trimming, pulling handles, and glazing. Students with prior experience will have the opportunity to further their skills through individual coaching and critique. However, no prior experience is required — if you have always wanted to try pottery, this class is for you. Part of every class will be dedicated to demonstrations and examining well-crafted pots.
