Description: 

You will learn a range of handbuilding techniques to design and build your own small-scale ceramic sculptures and usable cups or bowls. Use clay to explore form, surface and subject while allowing your imagination to take flight! Projects from this class will be fired and glazed. Detailed instructions for project drop-off will be emailed to families and fired projects will be ready for pick-up from Place des Arts approximately four weeks after the class end date.

-M-340 clay
-Variety of underglazes
-2 paintbrushes
-Bamboo skewers
-Set of pottery tools

What you need at home:
-A large, flat surface to work on, at least 2’ x 2’
-A plastic tablecloth or heavy poster board/cardboard to cover and protect the surface you are working on; the cover should be taped/secured to your working surface
-Light plastic (eg. a grocery bag) for covering your projects between classes
-A stable container for water (eg. an empty yogurt container between 500-750mL)
-A larger container with warm water for rinsing hands (can be disposed of outdoors to prevent any clay from going down your sink)
-Paper towel or rag for drying your paintbrush
-Paper towel or rag to clean your hands
-Dress for mess, wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy or an artist’s apron
-A plastic container with a lid clearly labelled with student’s first and last name (for storing works in progress and for dropping off and picking up projects from Place des Arts)
