In this three-week hand-building class, students will explore the playful and tactile world of clay while creating a special ceramic box for holding treasures; tiny objects, found treasures, keepsakes, or anything meaningful to them.
Led by a ceramic artist and teacher with over 10 years of experience working with clay and teaching youth, this class will introduce students to hand-building and slab-rolling techniques. Over the three weeks, students will learn how to roll, shape, join, and texture clay as they design and build their own one-of-a-kind box.
The first two weeks will focus on building and decorating, giving students plenty of time to experiment with form, texture, and surface design. In the final week, students will return to glaze their finished pieces, adding color and personality before their boxes are fired.
With a focus on creativity, exploration, and connection to the natural world, this class encourages students to slow down, get their hands dirty, and discover the joy of making something entirely their own.
