Hand Stretched Slab: Cups

1 Day Workshop

Class Date: Saturday, July 31 from 3:00pm-5:30pm

Learn to make a clay slab by hand without the use of a slab roller. A useful technique for anyone that does not own a slab roller or a wheel and wants to make cups and other functional and sculptural pieces.

In this class we will be focusing on learning to throw a slab by hand and out of that slab making a cup and decorating it by adding clay decoration: the use of stripes, dots, swirls, flowers and stars among other things.

The cup will then be bisque fired and glazed white, to be picked up two weeks later, on August 14th, between 10 am and 3 pm.

Intro to Pottery

6 Week Class

Dates: Tuesdays, November 16–December 21, 2021
Time: 6:30–9:00 PM

Instructor: Jesse Rasmussen

Learn the art of making pottery and create decorative and functional vessels in a spacious studio.

This class is for the beginner and for those who have taken beginning pottery classes in the past. The course will cover basic and intermediate level workings in clay – this class is mainly focused on wheel-thrown vessels (centering, pulling walls, shaping and trimming). Topics on cups, mugs, bowls, plates, cylinders, and aesthetics related to these shapes will be covered.

Advanced students are welcome and individual instruction will be given on topics such as lids, two-part pots, slip decoration, large vessels, production techniques, and more.

Each student will create a small series of functional vessels on the wheel (6-8). Various styles of vessels will be discussed during this course and an introduction to glaze and firing techniques will also be covered.

The cost of this course includes 23 hours of free open studio time per week for extra practice.
