FUNCTIONAL CERAMICS LEVEL 1: 6-WEEKS

In this six-week course, you will establish a foundation of hand-building techniques to explore the production of functional ceramics for your home, or alternatively sculptural work. With a hybrid teaching model, this course offers 2.5 hours per week of in-studio instruction, as well as the opportunity to continue working from home with an (included) Atelier Forma tool kit. Slab building, coil, pinch and molds will be considered in the construction of plates, pots, cups and bowls.

The first three weeks will focus on the direct application of design principles and building techniques, and the following two weeks will cover sculpture and decorative additions to refine the evolution of your forms. The final class will cover the basics of glazing and finishing methods for your pieces. The techniques and ideas taught may be applied to the production of functional or non-functional ceramic objects.

Please refer to studio rules for the maximum sizes and number of pieces allowed per 6-week session.

Materials included. Families and beginners are welcome. Minimum age: 11 years
