FALL 2024 SESSIONS

POTTERY WHEEL AND HANDBUILDING

This course will cover many aspects of working on the pottery wheel, handbuilding, glazing/surface and design. Whether you are interested in functional or sculpture work, you will get individual attention according to your skill level and interests. The classes are structured with demonstrations and information sharing. There will be plenty of time to work on your own during class, as well as, uninstructed open studio hours for enrolled students. Students are required to have their own pottery tools which can either be purchased through Tribeca Clay and other ceramic supply stores. We use a variety of low fire clay. We have a large selection of dipping and commercial paint on glazes.

HANDBUILDING AND SURFACE

Handbuilding is an ancient pottery-making technique that involves creating forms without a pottery wheel, using the hands, fingers, and simple tools. allowing for a wide range of creativity.
 
This class will also explore many surface decoration and finishing techniques. Surface treatments can occur at any stage of the ceramic process. On wet clay creating textures with stamps , lace, shape aids etc. /leather hard stage you can carve, scratch and apply many underglaze techniques. Once your piece is fired and ready to be glazed going beyond dipping, pouring and brushing glazes onto your work, you’ll find the alternatives to surface decoration using glaze pencils, water color, image transfer, stencils, wax resist and more
