Ceramics for Walls: Flat and Hangable Wares (eight sessions)
Adult Class | Available
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, February 28, and on the glaze firing shelf by Friday, March 7 to guarantee it will be fired by the last week of the term. Students can continue to drop off work for glaze firing until Friday, March 14. Finished work can be picked up during operational hours between terms. Questions about the firing schedule can be directed to Scott Cooper, Studio Technician at scooper@fleisher.org.
All artwork and supplies must be removed from Fleisher’s Ceramics Studio shelving by Friday, March 14 unless registered for a Ceramics class during the upcoming Spring 2025.
