Crossover Clay Classes

 

Mixed Media Masks

Come explore the intriguing world of mixed media.  We will be utilizing coil and slap built clay forms embellished with carved and sculpted wooden elements to create an  animal like mask to hang on the wall.  The clay forms can be decorated with a variety of techniques that will be covered in class.  The finished wooden elements will be cleverly attached after firing.  This 8 week class will take place in the clay and wood studios,  beginning with clay mixing in wood carving days and finishing with assembly

PRinting on Clay

Let’s remix this business! Our Clay and Print studios are teaming up to bring you a brand new 8-week intermediate level crossover class. 

For the first four weeks, you’ll be in our Clay studio, hand-building any sort of functional ware or sculptural pieces your heart desires. The last four weeks, you’ll move into our Print studio to learn various printmaking techniques like linocut, screen printing, and lithography to decorate your hand-built forms. These techniques will allow you to create multiples of the same image, opening up possibilities for making matching sets of mugs, dishes, or other creations.

This class will offer some instruction for hand-building, but not much. As such, we recommend that only folks with previous hand-building experience sign up. Print newbies are encouraged!

Ages: 16+

Dates: Oct. 21 - Dec. 16
Instructor: Akane Kleinkopf and Grace Flaherty

A tile of two studios

Come make a wall piece to cherish for years to come! In this 8 week class we will spend the first part of the session bringing our tiles to life in the ceramic studio. For these terracotta tiles we will use a variety of decorative techniques including slip, inlay, wax resist, underglaze, and additive and subtractive techniques. In the later part of the session, students will move into the metal studio learning how to forge and weld their tile’s custom frame! By the end of the session, you’ll have a beautiful wall hanging to show off to all your friends!
