FUNDAMENTALS IN CLAY: Week-long immersions at an introductory level

This course model is designed to offer an intensive dive into the vast world of clay, one field at a time.  Each thematically-based week focuses on 5 days (M-F) of hands-on instruction and making.  A following +1 day allows participants to return post bisque-firing to experience the glazing portion of the ceramic process.  With an expert instructor sharing daily demonstrations and plenty of independent practice time, this is an incredible format to jumpstart an interest in ceramics!

COST: $700 usd includes: five intensive mornings of throwing tuition (M-F), followed by one days of glazing instruction and practicum; access to studio, tools, and equipment 9am-5pm for all class days.

All pieces elected by the participant to be fired will be weighed on the last day of the Clay instruction week, and fee is calculated at the usual rate of Rp120/g
