Want to work with clay but not interested in the pottery wheel?

Join instructor Cray Charlebois for a 4-session clay slab building class. This project-based class will focus on using slabs of clay to build a variety of vases and vessels. Each class builds on the other, so it is important to attend all sessions. Surface patterns will also be explored, as well as embellishments such as handles, knobs and feet. No experience is needed. A session for glazing of work is included. All clay and tools are provided. This class is suitable for ages 13 and up. Home schoolers are welcome!

Registration includes all materials you will need for class, one bisque firing and one glaze firing. Classes are limited to 8 students, ensuring a high level of individual attention, and are reserved on a first-paid basis.

We ask that you:
• Leave your rings at home.
• Wear clothes that can get “muddy”
• Enter the class at the lower level rear of the building.
• Park out front or in parking area on Grant Street next to the building.
