Saturday Multi Age Clay Classes

This multi age class is the perfect opportunity for a couple of friends, couples or parent/grandparent and child to get your hands dirty and learn a new skill. Singles are encouraged and very welcome!  This will be a slab clay class, very different from the potter’s wheel. 

Week one you will learn how to roll the clay into a slab, add texture, and then form and assemble the mug.  You will also design and press a small snack plate.

Week two you will smooth out any imperfections, stamp your name on the bottoms and paint the two pieces. Each project will be hand painted with under glaze, fired, then fired a second time with a clear glaze to make each piece dish washer safe.
