Let the flexibility of clay, along with the human body and facial features express feeling in sculpture. By creating a figure in clay, students will explore the expression of emotion. Students will learn how to hollow out their sculpture before firing in a kiln. The piece can then be finished using oxides, paint, glaze or wax.

Extra available studio time can be arranged with the instructor.

Skip the messy pumpkin guts and carve one that will last year after year! In this hands-on class, you will choose a pre-thrown hollow clay form and transform it into your own one-of-a-kind ceramic jack-o’-lantern. You’ll decorate your pumpkin, add a stem and other details, and carve or paint a face or design to give it plenty of personality.

You will have the opportunity to add colored clay slips to paint your pumpkins before they are fired and finished with a clear glaze or you can choose a glaze color that will be  finished for you. Pieces will be picked up the following week. No experience necessary.
