Ongoing, individual sessions: Saturdays, 10:00am - 12:00pm Beginner-Advanced, Ages 5-12 Ceramics teach a number of a valuable skills, including perseverance, patience, problem solving, and creativity! Bring your kiddos in to come and play with clay and learn how to use this fun medium to create functional and decorative pieces. We'll alternate between learning the basics of handbuilding, wheel throwing, and glazing each week, so sign your kids up for multiple sessions to give them the full experience! Each student will proudly come out of class with at least one or two ceramic pieces that they built themselves. Ceramic artists and experienced teachers, Mindy Curran & Ben Alexander, will facilitate this class. *Some weeks, this offering will coincide with our ongoing Figure Painting class, meaning you'll get a sneak peek into the world of life drawing! These artists are okay with a reasonable amount of noise/disruption during class, but we ask everyone to be respectful of other classes. Figure models will wear kid-appropriate attire for these sessions.* Your reservation includes access to: - Reclaimed clay - Guidance - Tools/wheels/glazes - Kiln firing Please bring with you: - Clothes that can get dirty, and/or an apron Cat Clay Studio Notes & Agreements: *Trimming, glazing or underglazing cannot be done on pottery pieces that have just been made; please plan on booking another session to complete any trimming or glazing. *Pre-registration for our clay offerings is a requirement.
