4-Week Hybrid Vessels Pottery Clay Class! Feb 1 - 22

First, I'm sure you're wondering, what are some examples of hybrid vessels? On a simplistic level, something like a chip-dip tray or a ring holder could be a hybrid vessel. On a more grandiose level a water fountain (desk size or larger), complex vase, sculpture, etc.

The 4-Week Hybrid Vessels Pottery Clay Class is specially designed to teach you the following (please see agenda for a full breakdown and details of each week):

• Examples and brainstorming/sketching projects for this course.
• Crash course on throwing (if you know how to throw - begin)
• Crash course on hand-building techniques (coil, slab, pinch, sculpt)
• Utilize all learned skills to finish hybrid forms with help from instructor (+ design)
• The last class is glazing*
  Our goal in this class is to expand your clay education by elevating your ceramic pieces while keeping the vibe and atmosphere fun and inviting. This class is perfect for anyone who has had at least one beginner wheel-throwing pottery class, hand-building class, or some combination of the two and is interested in exploring new possibilities and forms. Whether you primarily wheel throw or hand build this class will teach you plenty of techniques to transform your work! This 4-week course will meet every Saturday in February (1st - 22nd) from 2-5 pm. There is one make-up session per person per class if you are sick or life gets in the way. Please email us if you need to reschedule and we will coordinate with you! :)

Check out the agenda section next for a breakdown of what we have planned for each week. Additionally, we have multiple specialty 4-week classes, an 8-week beginner pottery class, 1-day pottery workshops, and now youth classes (8-15) listed now through March 2025!
