Clay Club March

Service Description

Clay club is for folks who are interested in some open hand building (no wheel) play time with clay. Students can come with a project in mind, or choose to simply come and see where their imagination leads them. While this 4 week long session is independent studio time, our clay instructor, Debbie Carlos, will be there to help guide and teach basic techniques that will help students build their project. This is a three week session - enough time to make a few small hand-built projects or one larger one. No previous experience with clay is needed, but some experience can be helpful. One 25 lb bag of white clay, basic clay tools, underglazes and glaze will be provided. Students are allowed to bring their own tools, and to source their own glaze but must run it by the instructor first. Schedule: Clay Club will meet every Thursday from 6-8:30pm Week 1 - Students will start formulating projects and forming work. Week 2 - Students will continue to form work and make finishing touches, getting pieces ready to dry. [Allow two weeks for pieces to dry and to be bisque fired] Week 3 -We do not officially meet, but students can come check on their work if they wish. this must be scheduled with the instructor ahead of time. Week 4- Students will paint and glaze their bisqued pieces. Pieces will then be fired a final time and students will be notified when their work is ready to be picked up. *If students need additional time to finish work, a one hour session can be purchased for $25.
