Schedule

Week 4 - Trimming and design work

Details

Every student will receive a single 25lb bag of clay to keep/take home after the class. Our air-dry clay can be thrown on the wheel. It’s very similar in feel to high- or mid-fire clay, the only difference being that it doesn't need to be fired. This unique quality allows us to experiment with how we decorate our vessels since they don’t go into a kiln.
