This class will experience clay hand building through the method of slab construction and slab manipulation, pinching and coiling to create decorative and also functional pieces. Projects will include cylinder vessels, slab boxes and pockets, tumblers, cups, mugs and plates. This class will also explore using underglazes and sgraffito techniques for surface decoration as well as texture techniques and slip trailing that will make your utilitarian pieces come to life with design.
While participants will not be able to complete a project in 1 class, they are encouraged to take another class and/or glazing class to complete their project. Firings occur when there is enough work to fill the kiln.

Ever have that old piece of furniture sitting around that you can’t get rid of? Or how about that table you want to refinish but just don’t quite know how? Well, you’re in luck! In this class you’ll learn distressing techniques and different applications so you can give new life to grandma’s old coffee table that you just can’t bear to part with.
