While we work on our new and improved studio, our ceramic program is setting up camp on the back deck outside of the silkscreen studio! In case of inclement weather: the outdoor space is shaded in the afternoon and evening and has a covering adequate to provide shelter from light rain. In case of a heavy rain storm and winds or thunderstorms; class will be rescheduled at the discretion of the instructor for the listed make-up date.

Create a fun home for your plants! Whether you are designing a vessel as an accent for your garden or a pot as a unique element in your home decor, this course will cover a variety of ways to build planters. Using coil building and slabs as the building blocks this class will include some sculptural surface exploration.
