Through demos and individual assistance, students will learn how to create earthenware wall features. Along with non functional decor, students will have the opportunity to create functional objects such as mirrors and clocks. Students will be shown both hand building and wheel throwing techniques, as well as the basics of glazing.

What you will learn:
1. Planning and realization of time sensitive clay builds.
2. Understanding of slab rollers, extruders, and pottery wheels.
3. Decoration and finish of artworks.

Firing Schedule: All work should be placed on the bisque firing shelf by Friday, November 8, and on the glaze firing shelf by Friday, November 22 to guarantee it will be fired by the last week of classes. Students can continue to drop off work for glaze firing until Friday, November 22. Finished work can be picked up during operational hours between terms. Questions about the firing schedule can be directed to Chris Archer, Senior Studio Technician at carcher@fleisher.org.

Please review your class schedule as not all classes meet through the week of November 22. All artwork and supplies must be removed from Fleisher’s Ceramics Studio shelving by November 22 unless registered for a Ceramics class during the upcoming Winter 2025 term.

Please note: Class will not meet on Thursday, October 3 in observance of Rosh Hashanah.
