CERAMICS SESSIONS & PROJECTS

We hold weekly sessions, with four week 'themes.' This enables you, the artisan, to learn new techniques, show off projects you are proud of, and to obtain assistance with the ceramic accessories and gifts you make.
CLAY BUILDING--Create your own figures with other budding sculptors.  We have designs and freeform projects.
DECALS/THIRD FIRES/OVERGLAZES--Learn the secrets of these gorgeous techniques.
BRUSH STROKES--Work the brush in free form and stencil work.  Produce specific designs or create your own.  Great for dinnerware!

GLAZE TECHNIQUES--Use crystals, matte and gloss finishes, art glazes, and glass techniques to break new ground in ceramic finishing.
