Teachers: Matthew Courtney and Jackie White
Details: This class engages parents and kids while introducing both to the joys and fundamentals of clay hand building. We provide clay, colors, and tutorials to watch on your own schedule. You make the projects and, if you want, can attend weekly course Zoom meet-ups and presentations with our instructors. Among other projects, students will make a lidded decorative container, a matching bowl set, a phone holder / ring holder, and a yarn bowl.
Structure: On Tuesday, September 29th, join us for the introductory Zoom meet-up and presentation. After each meet-up we'll release a video tutorial project for students to complete by the following Tuesday. The final Zoom will be a celebration and exhibition of student work from throughout the course. There are five 45-minute Zoom meet-ups and four 30-minute tutorial videos.
Materials: Prior to the class, students will receive a time to pick up prepackaged clay and underglaze from the art center - social distancing will be required. At the end of the course, students will bring their unfired pieces to the art center, where we will fire them with clear glaze. The course price includes clay, glaze, and firing costs. We will use low-fire clay and underglazes. Tools will be those that parents can find at home such as a sponge, pencil, plastic knife, fork and spoon, a paint brush and a chop stick.
Class Size and Students: Ten pairs max. Caregivers / babysitters are welcome to take part instead of parents.
Course Credit: If you would like to use past course credit to pay for this class, please fill out this form instead of adding the class to your cart.
